Or in NY. They do however have the issuing town's information on it and they get the driver's license number of the person who the tag is for when they give you a tag.

It's been awhile now since she passed but I think all ours has on it is expiration date (or indefinite) and the persons name and date. I am sure the issuing agency would also be there. I don't recall any tag#

All the ones I've seen have #'s or a barcode as well as an exp. date...either way they are linked to the issuing entity...

I happen to still have an old expired tag; no barcode but it does have a 8 digit number and 2 letters (big letters) on each side. There's a list of the months with applicable one punched out; same for years. And across the top are " CO# / DL - ID / INT ". I don't know for sure what the "CO#" is for (I think it identifies the county), but the "DL - ID" has the first 4 digits of my drivers license number, and the "INT." has my initials (3 letters) that they put on there with a marks a lot. So yep, it does have the expiration date punched out AND also at the bottom that expiration date in big numbers with a marks a lot. So if an officer wanted to check, it does identify me and only me as well as the expiration date.

I thought my MIL's had her tag number on it. Or maybe that was my dad's in Florida

Well I have COPD* and long walks kills me.
Whenever I go to Cosco I use it, but generally don't hang my tag on the mirror.
I still am still very agile but simply very short of breath. (cigs do that to you, ps stopped for 4 yrs now)
Gotta admit that I have seen more abuse to 'stickers' than I believe admissible.

* LOL, just today I paid more for milk simply because the local shop was many feet closer than the major food outlet.

We used to live in the South Boston neighborhood. An elderly neighbor got a handicapped parking spot. When he passed away, his son, a mailman, suddenly sprouted a disability. Now the whole family has hang tags, even the ones who moved to the suburbs!

Never lived with with able-bodied men who would fake a disability to gain dedicated parking: which made things worse for neighbors. Shameful.

LAZY people just out for themselves ,Maybe on food stamps also?

We don't have food stamps but charities hand out prepaid EFTPOS cards for designated supermarkets, they cannot be used to purchase alcohol or tobacco so the parasites sell them to the public for half their face value.
Pity that those in need have to suffer for the inconsiderate.
I have a friend who was paralysed down one side after suffering a stroke and he refuses to accept a parking permit, he is fiercely independent and says the day he uses a disabled parking zone will be the day he gives in, I have never seen anyone as determined and damned stubborn as him, he gets off his scooter and walks with difficulty, people who attempt to help get a brief tirade 'I'm not a cripple' followed by a few expletives.
He has to give in when having a steak as he can't cut it himself and we get a little pleasure from watching him give in, he then calls us unsympathetic bastards and laughs.
