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.

      @ Patricia J C-M
      You fall under the states guidelines and requirements. Best to confirm with your local drivers license department. The physical examination is part of the medical card process.

    Does MS give a grace period for an expired DOT physical? If so how long do I have before MS revokes my CDL?

      I was taken out because I broke my foot. The lady at the highway patrol office had me go on the website and show my CDL as medical card exempt. I wouldn’t get caught driving a truck that requires a DOT card like that but it would hold your CDL. I don’t remember how long letting it expire would keep your CDL but it does cost about $100 to reinstate it.
