Special Information Updates Pertaining To ALL STATES
MEDICAL EXAMINERS MUST CONTINUE TO ISSUE MEDICAL CERTIFICATES TO ALL DRIVERS
The FMCSA has requested that all medical examiners continue providing drivers with a paper copy of the Medical Examiner’s Certificate – Form MCSA-5876, so that Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) holders can provide a copy to the State licensing agency, and the non-CDL drivers can provide the documentation to their employers and Federal and State enforcement officials.
The Agency is currently completing efforts to put into place an electronic system to enable medical examiners to transmit the medical certificate information from the National Registry system to the State licensing agencies. However, until that system is completed, medical examiners must continue to issue paper copies of the medical certificates to drivers who pass the medical exam.
ALL DRIVERS MUST CONTINUE TO CARRY A PAPER COPY OF THEIR MEDICAL CERTIFICATE
Commercial Drivers – You still need to carry a paper copy of your medical card, until FMCSA announces that this is no longer necessary.

My cdl medical expired on 08/19/2021 I have been out of the country since 07/06/2022 I get back on 09/29/2021. Can I just renew my medical or do I have to retest?
@ Niko
Check with your local drivers license department. In most cases all you need is to update your medical card, but confirm that with your state.
Does indiana have medical card hotline anymore.
To verify status of medical card?
@ William
You need to check with your states drivers license department.
Does the state of Indiana require all CDL drivers to get an A1C test?
@ Jill T
CDL’s are state issued and they have their own rules and regulations. It is not a mandatory DOT/FMCSA requirement, but can be requested by the CME is he/she has questions.
