Under Federal and State requirements implemented in 2012, drivers who currently hold or want to obtain a Commercial Drivers License must inform their state’s RMV of the type of commerce they operate within (interstate or intrastate), and whether or not they are required to hold a medical certificate. While these requirements have been in place for some time, ALL CDL holders must self-certify no later than January 30, 2014.  

Drivers operating in certain types of commerce will be required to submit a current medical examiner’s certificate to their State Drivers Licensing Agency to obtain a “certified” medical status as part of their driving record.  Failure to provided and keep the medical certificate up-to-date will become “non-certified” and may lose their CDL.  

NOTE: The procedures for self certification and registration may vary from state to state, so contact the RMV of the state that has issued your CDL for specific requirements.
