I’ve been looking into getting the California Access OK stickers, specifically the Clean Air Vehicle (CAV) decals and High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) stickers, for my electric vehicle.

I want to understand the whole process better, so I’m hoping you can help me out with a few questions:

  • Eligibility Criteria: What are the requirements to qualify for these stickers? Are there specific models of electric or low-emission vehicles that are eligible?
  • Application Process: How do I apply for these stickers? Is it straightforward, or are there potential roadblocks I should be aware of?
  • Expiration Dates: I’ve heard that these stickers can expire. How often do I need to renew them, and is it a hassle to go through the process again?
  • Maintenance or Removal: If I sell my vehicle or decide to switch cars, what happens to the stickers? Do I need to remove them, or can they be transferred?

Any insights or personal experiences you can share would be super helpful! Thanks!

Right?! It’s often a case of ‘I can’t believe this is actually an issue.’ Sometimes you wonder if some places even try.

I believe to qualify for California Access OK stickers, you need to have a valid disability permit. Necessary documentation includes proof of disability and a completed application form. It’s always best to check the DMV website for the latest requirements.
