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.

Do I need to notify the mvd of my updated medical card?
@ Shane P
Drivers license department (DLD), maybe same as mvd, needs a copy of your medical card to keep your cdl active.
email address for this site?
my cdl does not expire until 2026. i havent held a cdl job sense 2021. my medical card expired in 2022. what steps do i need to take to get my medical card back in good standings and will there be any penalties applied towards me for my laps?
@ Brandon P
Go get a new medical certification examination done and take a copy to your local DLD. That should be all you need. If there are extra fees, it is your state that will require them. DLD should answer any of your questions.
My CDL license expires 6/06/23 but my medical card expires 4/22/23(Saturday). I’m not able to renew my medical card until the following week of 4/25/23. Is my CDL license in any kind of jeopardy of being cancelled? Also, I’m unable to get my medical exam prior to 4/22.
Thank you
@ Charles M I
It should not be and issue, just make sure you get a copy of your medical card to drivers license ASAP.
I have been trying for 2 weeks to find a email address to send my new medical examiners certificate with no luck but i bet the MVD will have no mercey on revoking my license
