FMCSA Medical Certification Rule Changes – Effective June 23, 2025
Big changes are coming for CDL & CLP drivers!
What’s New:🚨
✔️ No more paper medical cards or submissions—Medical Examiners will now send exam results electronically to FMCSA & your state DMV.
✔️ Drivers no longer need to carry a paper medical card (after the 15-day grace period).
✔️ Employers must pull the CDL MVR after each physical to verify medical status—no more collecting paper cards or verifying ME registry status.
✔️Drivers with medical variances (like exemptions) must still carry that paperwork.
These changes aim to reduce fraud, streamline compliance, and enhance safety.
Be prepared—review your internal processes and ensure all drivers and staff are aware of the new procedures. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out at 717-900-5655!
