Interestingly, in the UK the word "handicap" is offensive to disabled people.
The company I work for runs the national IT system for the UK Blue Badge service for parking concessions. Disabled people are entitled to a badge if they are in receipt of certain benefits or have other proof that they have sufficient mobility issues to entitle them to a badge. The badge contains the user's photo and is printed by a company that specialises in printing secure documents. It contains anti-forging elements and makes enforcement easier. The badge is not tied to a vehicle so it can be used by anyone who is accompanying the registered user - but only if the user is present.
