FMCSA regulation 391.42 states that, on and after May 21, 2014 any medical card issued must contain a National Registry Number. This number shall be used instead of the physicians’ license number. All drivers must obtain a medical examination and medical card from a Nationally Registered Certified Medical Examiner.
NOTICE FOR CDL HOLDERS
Starting January 30, 2012 and no later than January 30, 2014, all CDL holders must provide information to their SDLA regarding the type of commercial motor vehicle operation they drive in or expect to drive in with their CDL. Drivers operating in certain types of commerce will be required to submit a current medical examiner’s certificate to their SDLA to obtain a “certified” medical status as part of their driving record. CDL holders required to have a ”certified” medical status who fail to provide and keep up-to-date their medical examiner’s certificate with their SDLA will become ”not-certified” and they may lose their CDL.
