Medical Exams


  • Ask your employer and see Self-Certification to determine whether you need an exam. Employers may require an exam even if federal or state regulations do not.
  • Be sure to obtain your exam from a provider listed in the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners. Other exams may not be accepted.
  • The DMV accepts only the MCSA-5876 Medical Examiner's Certificate (MEC). The long-form medical examination is not accepted.
  • Drivers are responsible for ensuring all information is complete and legible.
