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.

Can I send a copy of medical card to your email

I have CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE am I eligible for a physical card to drive school bus?
@ Roger
Check with your local DMV license department and see what the rules and regulations are.
I work for a truck repair shop. I only drive the trucks when testing after a repair. Do I need a medical card for test driving?
I had a seizure in 2014 and lost my cdl-A. Can I still get a DOT physical so I can drive a cargo van? Many courier companies require a dot physical.
@Doug
Yes, because you fall under state variances, not FMCSA, to drive intrastate only.
Do I have to have a med card for my cdl if I work for a municipality/township.
@Randy
First ask your boss if they fall under “Excepted” status.
Second – it depends on what status you self-certified with your drivers license department. If you self-certified as “non-excepted” and you do not keep a current medical card on file with your CDL, you will be downgraded.
I had a stroke and trying to find out requirements on a time frame my employer said about a year I would be off l would like to know requirements in the state of Kansas to be able to drive again
@Tim
FMCSA for OTR is one year minimum, but you should check with the state drivers license department for intra-state only driving. It will fall under your specific state variances at this point.
I had a Cdl in colorado and was revoked in 2006 as a result of dui. I now have a chance to drive in kansas for elite tours, what will I face and will it show up.
@Hotblooded
This is a question only your local drivers license department can answer. Not a medical certification related question.

how old does a person have to be to get a noncdl kdot physical
@Kathleen
Check with your local DLD and ask them. Each state has different rules and regs.
Do I need a dot medical card to drive a cmv in ks without a cdl with a gvwr of less than 14000 lb? The cdl handbook said I don’t need a cdl to drive the vehicle, but it said nothing about if I need a dot medical card or not. No hazmat on vehicle.
@David
In many states you need to have a medical card to operate any vehicle that is being used for commerce. Especially if it exceeds 10,001 pounds.
So check with your local DLD and see what they say.
what is the mailing address to submit the medical card
@Kory
From the information we can find, it seems that Kansas is not accepting mail-in medical certificates.
