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.
Many drivers with underlying conditions successfully maintain their certification. Our examiners will review your history and advise if additional specialist documentation is needed.
