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.
Until that system is completed, which compliance date according FMCSA is June 23, 2025, 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.

I loss my medical card due to medical issue and my CDLA was reduced to a Operator’s license. How long do I have to get my Medical card reinstated and NH CDLA re activated? Be one year as of July 4. 2024
@ Kerry
Since this is a drivers license question, your best answer will come from your local DLD.
I need a vision waiver can I go to my own vision doc or does it have to be a One that’s connected to NRCME? Does anyone know I live in NH and need a med card to drive a non CDL truck
@ Michael
Since you are not a cdl holder, you should not require a vision waiver, unless your state is requesting one. If that is the case, then your eye doctor should be able to provide what your state needs. You do not fall under the federal DOT/FMCSA guidelines and regulations.
If the medical card expires how long do you have in order to get your CDL back without going through the testing again
@ Ken
Each state is different, so check with your local drivers license department for your answer.
