How Can I Get A Designated (“Handicap”) Parking Placard Or Plate?
In Virginia you need to get a MED-10 form. You can pick one up at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), or you can get one from their website at http://dmv.state.va.us by clicking on “Citizen Services” and then “Disability Services.” You can also get one by clicking on “Forms and Publications.” A physician must fill out the form. Bring the completed form to the DMV. Assuming your doctor says that you have a disability, you will need to pay a fee and you will receive your placard or plate on the spot. You can do it by mail, but the process does take longer. You can get a placard or a plate or both. The placard offers flexibility. You can use the placard in any car where you are the driver or a passenger. If you want the plate, you need to bring in the vehicle registration with the completed MED-10 form.
