Application Instructions

All applicants must complete all of either Section 1 or Section 2. Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are to be completed as applicable. Please check only those boxes that apply to your situation and submit the required documentation for each box checked.

 

I am applying for a disability parking space for the vehicle that I own and drive. Attached is the following documentation:

  • A copy of a valid Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) disability parking placard
  • A copy of a valid Virginia DMV registration showing:
  • That I have a valid disabled parking license plate
  • That my vehicle is registered to my residence
  • That I reside at the address stated in this application
  • A copy of the medical certification submitted to DMV or a doctor’s letter certifying my disability because I cannot obtain a copy of the DMV certification*
 

I am applying for a disability parking space. I do not drive or own a vehicle, but someone else in my residence does. Enclosed is the following documentation:

  • A copy of a valid Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) disability parking placard
  • A copy of a valid DMV registration showing the vehicle that will be transporting me is registered in Alexandria to a person who lives at my residence
  • A copy of the medical certification submitted to the DMV, or a doctor’s letter certifying my disability (because I cannot obtain a copy of the DMV certification)*
  • Verification that I live at the address stated above (e.g., voter registration card, utility bill)
  • The person who owns and drives the vehicle is in the military and has an out-of-state vehicle registration. A copy of the out-of-state vehicle registration and documentation showing that he or she resides at the address of the requested parking space is attached.
 

Off-street parking is available at my residence, but I cannot use it. Attached is a doctor’s letter certifying that the off-street parking is not feasible for me to use.

 

A disability parking space already exists on the same side of my block. Therefore, I am applying for a waiver of the limit of one disability parking space per block face. I have attached documentation addressing the requirements of subsection (e)(1) of Section 5-8-117 of the City Code.

 

I do not have a legal parking space in front of my house (because of a fire hydrant or something else that prohibits parking in front of my house). I am applying for a waiver regarding the condition that the disability space be positioned in front of my house, and request that the space be located elsewhere on the same block. I have attached documentation addressing the requirements of subsection (e)(2) of Section 5-8-117 of the City Code.

 

I will not be using this disability parking space for a period of three or more consecutive months within the year following the date of this application. NOTE: Once this section is selected, you will be prompted to enter the time range that the space will go unused.


(In cases such as this, the City will remove the disability parking signs for the period of time you are not in the city, so that others can use the parking space while gone, and the City will put signs back up when you return.)

 

Because I am in the military and my car is registered out of state, I have attached a copy of my out-of-state vehicle registration, and documentation showing that I do reside at the address of the requested parking space.

 

I certify that I have read and understand the City Ordinance on Parking for Persons with a Disability and that this application and the documentation I have submitted are correct.
