New Mexico MVD-10383: Parking Placard Eligibility

New Mexico residents use MVD-10383, the Certificate of Eligibility for Parking Placard, to get a placard for a significant mobility limitation under Section 66-3-16 NMSA. A licensed physician certifies the qualifying limitation and marks it permanent or temporary. Physicians see it only for original applications, since renewals and replacements are self-certified by the applicant.

Who completes it

The applicant completes Part A and the application type, and a licensed physician completes Part C (Physician Information) and Part D (Physician Medical Statement and Certification). Renewals and replacements use Part E, signed by the applicant.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
The applicant brings the signed original to any New Mexico MVD field office; photocopies are not accepted, and an incomplete certificate is rejected.
Who pays
The form does not address payment for the physician's certification.

Frequently asked questions

Who can sign New Mexico form MVD-10383?

All original applications must include certification in Parts C and D by a licensed physician, who gives a license or other identifying number, business address and phone, then signs. Renewals and replacements can be self-certified by the applicant in Part E.

How long is a New Mexico temporary parking placard valid?

The physician sets the number of months, up to a 12-month maximum. Temporary placards issued for a temporary condition cannot be renewed, so a continuing need requires a new certificate. Permanent placards generally expire four years from issue.

Does a New Mexico placard renewal need a doctor?

Not for permanent placards. The applicant can self-certify in Part E that the originally certified condition has not changed, giving the current placard number and expiration date. Without the old placard or its details, a fully completed new certificate is required.
