California disabled Veteran license plate

California’s DV plate requires a qualifying disability such as a diagnosed disease or disorder that substantially impairs mobility, severe assistive-device dependence, limb loss or loss of use, or blindness. A 100% rating alone does not satisfy the mobility test.
