New Mexico's Department of Wildlife certifies mobility-impaired hunters so they can apply for mobility-impaired-only pronghorn, deer, elk and oryx hunts in the public drawing. The one-page application pairs the hunter's information with a physician statement of a permanent mobility restriction. Once approved, the hunter receives a Mobility Impaired card by mail, and since June 24, 2026 the certification is permanent.
The hunter completes Part 1, after registering for a Customer Identification Number with the department's online licensing system, and signs an attestation. The certifying physician completes Part 2: the qualifying restriction, a printed description of the disabilities, signature, office details, and a medical license, permit or board certification number with issuing state.

No. The department's information sheet says that, effective June 24, 2026, the Mobility Impaired Certification is permanent, and the application states it is permanent once approved. The physician statement therefore needs to describe a permanent restriction, not a temporary injury.
In Part 2 the physician checks permanent restriction to a wheelchair, walker or crutches, a permanent condition that substantially limits walking, or both. The physician then prints a description of the disabilities, signs and dates, and adds office contact details and a medical license, permit or board certification number with the issuing state.
