Virginia DMV requests this assessment when it has concerns about a non-commercial driver with a missing or impaired arm or leg. The clinician describes each impairment, its date and cause, any underlying condition that may progress, and whether reaction time, strength, range of motion or other functions are likely to impair driving. DMV weighs the report with test results and Medical Advisory Board guidelines.
The customer completes Customer Information and signs the Information Release Approval on page 1. A physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner completes and signs page 3.

Missing or Impaired Limb Assessment for Non-commercial Drivers
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.

Page 3 must be completed by a physician, physician assistant or nurse practitioner, who records their specialty, license number, expiration date and issuing state and signs. The driver brings the whole MED 8 and the DMV letter to the examination and authorizes the provider to send the report and clarify it with DMV.
If the driver received an Official Notice or Order of Suspension, DMV must receive the MED 8 before the effective date to avoid suspension. If the privilege is suspended, reinstatement also requires proof of legal presence if the driver has not already provided it.
