Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the medical card valid? Up to 24 months for most drivers. Drivers with certain conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes may receive a certificate valid for 12 months or less, requiring more frequent exams.

Can I use my personal doctor? Only if they are listed on the FMCSA National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners. Most regular doctors are not certified to perform DOT physicals.

What does the exam cover? The certified medical examiner checks your vision, hearing, blood pressure, pulse, general physical condition, and medical history. A urinalysis is also required (not a drug test).

What if I fail the exam? The examiner will explain what condition prevented certification. Some conditions can be managed with treatment and a follow-up exam. Others may qualify for a medical waiver or exemption.
