Vermont CDL and DOT Medical Card Requirements

Vermont CDL Requirements

If you hold a commercial driver’s license (CDL) or are applying for a CDL, you are required to certify the following information with Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles:

• The type of driving you are engaged in (interstate or intrastate) and
• Whether or not you are subject to or exempt from the Federal DOT medical examination requirements.

Interstate Non-Excepted
You must meet the Federal DOT medical certificate requirements.

Intrastate Non-Excepted
You must meet the Federal DOT medical certificate requirements.

All CDL holders must continue to carry all medical certification documents with them at all times even after completing the self-certification process with DMV.

Submit Your CDL Medical Certification to Vermont DMV

Submit the following two documents:

1. CDL Medical Certification – download the form here from Vermont DMV.
2. Copy of your valid DOT medical card (not the long form). Enlarge the copy to ensure that all information is legible. If your medical examiner’s certificate is only valid with a vision, diabetes or a skills performance evaluation waiver granted by FMCSA, you must also provide a copy of your waiver.
