2. If No Existing Exemption Exists: Should you not currently have this exemption, additional documentation will be required:
   • A completed reg 256A form
   • A letter from the VA or medical certification confirming disability status

Please ensure all necessary documents are prepared before proceeding with your vehicle purchase to facilitate smooth processing of fee exemptions.
