Utah CDL Requirements

All CDL holders have to certify driving type, and if required you must keep a valid medical card on file with Utah DMV. Your self-certification of driving type tells DMV which qualifications you must meet to hold a CDL.

Non-Excepted Interstate
You must meet the Federal DOT medical certificate requirements and have a Medical Examiner’s Certificate.

Non-Excepted Intrastate (Utah only, requires K Restriction)
You must meet the Utah medical requirements. You must have a Utah Intrastate Waiver card and a Medical Examiner’s Certificate.

Intrastate “K” Restriction
The Utah Medical Waiver Program considers medical conditions in specific categories. For more information see Functional Ability Evaluation Medical Report. The intrastate only (K) restriction is sufficient to indicate the driver has met the State of Utah medical guidelines for the commercial license.  To inquire about more information about the Intrastate Waiver Program, call at 801-965-4437.

 

Submit your CDL Self-Certification and Medical Certificate to Utah DLD

Submit the following two documents:

  1. Commercial Driver License Medical Self Certification – download the form (CDL 42) here from Utah Department of Public Safety.
  2. Copy of your valid DOT Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MCSA-5876) and, if applicable, your Utah Intrastate Waiver card.  Enlarge the copy to ensure that all information is legible.

Medical Certification Update

You are responsible for knowing when your Medical Examiner’s Certificate will expire and for providing Utah Drivers License Division with a copy of your new Medical Examiner’s Certificate. Every time you update a DOT medical certificate you must also turn in the self-certification form.

If your DOT medical card expires, and you do not submit a renewed medical certificate your driver license will be downgraded.

You may submit a copy of your new Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MCSA-5876) together with a Commercial Driver License Medical Self Certification form (CDL 42) to Utah Drivers License Department by mail, fax, email, or in person as described above.

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.

      There is no drug testing in the DOT physical. Only if the employer request an additional drug screen could this be an issue. 30 days clean and you should be clear.

      You have until the end of February to get your card into the federal registry. States are different and may give a small grace period. Check with your state for clarity.

    I’m not currently driving but have kept my class A just in case. My DOT card expired without me realizing, is there a grace period in Utah? If so how long do I have? I can’t find that answer anywhere. Thank you.

      Depending on how long your medical card has been expired, you may just need to get a new card and get it registered with the state. Do it now.

      UT drivers license department should be able to answer this question for you.

    What if you’re on FMLA which is restricting you from renewing your Medical Card and it expires.
    The state of Utah charges a fee to reinstate your license. Do they have a fee waiver?

      You need to get your answer from UT. DLD. You have some grace with UT. for renewing your medical certificate. Get the examination done or explain to UT. dld the situation, they should be able to guide you from there.

      Yes. Medical certification is national/federal and will be accepted by UT. Check with UT. drivers license department to confirm the need to send it in. They may only need it for a class A driver. But confirm this fact with UT. DLD.

    I have in CDL in Idaho so I can operate my own truck with air brakes. I went to Utah to pick up a piece of equipment I had purchased and was stopped at the Perry South Port of Entry (for an hour).I was cited for “no medical card”. I made it clear I was not a commercial driver but she insisted I was still required to have a medical card to enter Utah. Could someone clarify this issue?

      @ Dennis K
      Most states require a valid medical card to maintain a valid cdl. Utah is one of those states. No valid medical card, no valid cdl.
      Check with your state, but most states require a medical card for any cdl. Any vehicle that is used for commerce, including your own truck, may require a medical card for your cdl. Confirm this with your states drivers license department.
