Unauthorized use of a handicap space should be reported to the local police department in the town or city where the violation occurs. A vehicle driven by or a vehicle transporting a person with a walking disability can only occupy handicap parking spaces.
New Hampshire recognizes disability parking placards or plates from any other state; and by law, vehicles with disabled veteran plates from this or any other state are allowed to park in these spaces. If you are a person with a walking disability yourself and submit clear photographic evidence to the police that someone without a disability parking plate or placard or a disabled veteran’s plate, parks in a handicapped parking space or blocks an access aisle, this evidence is sufficient under RSA 265:69 to prove a violation in court. If you have detailed, firsthand knowledge of abuse of a handicap placard or plate, you can write a letter outlining all the facts to the director of motor vehicles.
