Non-CDL Drivers
The electronic reporting requirements do not affect non-CDL drivers.
• The medical examiner must give you a physical MEC Form MCSA-5876.
• You should keep your medical certificate available at all times whilst driving a CMV.
• You will still need to provide a copy of the MEC to the companies you work for.

This is a question only your local drivers license department can answer. Not a medical certification related question.

@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.
You can bring a copy of your Medical Certificate to any customer service rep at any renewal location to have your record updated at that time. Kansas only permits in person certification. I know, I know.
