We highly recommend scheduling an appointment in advance to guarantee minimal wait times. You can easily select a convenient time online that works with your driving schedule.
A standard DOT medical certificate is valid for up to 24 months. However, chronic conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or sleep apnea may require annual or more frequent renewals.
