Virginia DMV's MED 10 is the application for a disabled parking placard or disabled parking license plates. A clinician meets it on page 2, certifying that the patient's ability to walk is limited or impaired, or that walking creates a safety concern, and whether the condition is temporary (up to 12 months) or permanent. Permanent placards last five years and renew automatically.
The applicant, parent or legal guardian completes the front, which must be done before the clinician signs. A licensed physician, PA or nurse practitioner completes the medical certification; chiropractors and podiatrists use a separate, shorter list limited to walking criteria.

Disabled Parking Placard or License Plates Application
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

Yes, using the separate chiropractor or podiatrist certification. It is limited to walking criteria: inability to walk 200 feet without resting, needing an assistive device or another person, severe arthritic, neurological or orthopedic limits, or another described condition. Lung, cardiac, cognitive and vision or hearing criteria are reserved for physicians, PAs and NPs.
A temporary placard lasts up to 12 months, between the beginning and ending dates the clinician enters. A permanent placard is valid for five years and renews automatically, with the new placard mailed 60 days before expiration, so the patient does not need a new certification for that renewal.
Yes. The physician, PA and NP section includes a mental or developmental delay that impairs judgment, including autism spectrum disorder, and Alzheimer's disease or another dementia. Virginia's application treats a safety concern while walking, not only a physical walking limit, as a qualifying reason.
