1. A.

   1. 1. First time applicants applying for a hang tag for mobility impairment must include:

      1. a. a currently dated medical examiner's certification of mobility impairment form (DPSMV 1966). A medical examiner is defined as:

         1. i. a person licensed to practice medicine in Louisiana or any other state or territory of the United States;
         2. ii. a person licensed to practice chiropractic by the Louisiana State Board of Chiropractic Examiners;
         3. iii. a person licensed by the Louisiana State Board of Physical Therapy Examiners, or an advanced practice registered nurse;
      2. b. in the case of a disabled veteran, a decision letter or an affidavit from the Veterans Affairs Office attesting to the veteran's disability. A veteran who currently has a disabled veteran's license plate is not required to submit a separate medical examiner's certificate of mobility impairment. He is eligible to receive a "permanent" hang tag at no charge at initial issuance.

   2. 2. The certification must indicate the type of impairment as follows.

      1. a. Permanently Impaired. Certification must state the physical condition which qualifies the applicant for a hang tag is a permanent condition. A mobility impaired hang tag will be issued with a 10 year expiration date.
         Re-certification will not be required upon renewal.
      2. b. Temporarily Impaired. Certification must state the physical condition which qualifies the applicant for a hang tag is temporary (one year or less). A mobility impaired hang tag will be issued with a one year expiration date. If the temporary mobility impairment persists past a year from the date of issuance, an additional certification must be submitted upon renewal of temporary hang tag.
   3. 3. Up to three additional hang tags may be issued on behalf of a person with a mobility impairment. Only one fee ($3 for temporarily impaired hang tag and $7.50 for a permanently impaired hang tag) will be accessed. Only one mobility impaired ID card will be issued.
