Medical card

What is a DOT Medical Card?

A Medical Card is a card issued by the Department of Transportation that indicates that an individual has been examined by a DOT-approved medical professional and found to meet the qualifications for interstate commercial driving. Individuals who hold a Medical Card are required to renew it every two years, or more frequently if their health status changes. To obtain a Medical Card, drivers must first submit to a physical examination by a DOT-approved medical professional. The examiner will then complete and sign the Medical Examination Report Form, which the driver must submit to the Department of Transportation. Drivers who do not maintain a valid Medical Card may be subject to penalties, including fines and suspension of their commercial driver's license.

Steps to obtain Medical Card

In order to operate a commercial motor vehicle, you must have a valid Medical Examiner's Certificate (DOT Medical Card).  You can obtain a Medical Examiner's Certificate by completing the following steps: 

  1. Schedule and pass a DOT physical with a certified Medical Examiner 
  2. Complete the Medical Examination Report Form 
  3. Obtain your DOT Medical Card from the Medical Examiner 
  4. Keep your DOT Medical Card in your possession while operating a commercial motor vehicle 
  5. Renew your DOT Medical Card every 2 years (or as required by your state) 

Note: If you are taking prescription medications, be sure to check with your Medical Examiner to ensure that you are still qualified to operate a commercial motor vehicle. 

Failure to comply with these requirements may result in civil or criminal penalties. For more information, please contact your local Department of Transportation.
