šØ BIG CHANGES for CDL Drivers & Carriers šØ
The FMCSA has officially rolled out a major update to how DOT medical certifications are reportedāand itās changing the game.
ā
Whatās new?
As of June 23, 2025, your DOT physical results are now sent electronically from the medical examiner ā FMCSA ā your state DMV.
š No more bringing in your medical card
š No more manual submissions
š Faster, more accurate updates to your CDL record
This new system is designed to reduce errors and streamline complianceābut it also means:
ā ļø Your Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) is now the primary proof of your medical certification
ā ļø Any delays or errors can directly impact your CDL status
While there is currently a temporary waiver allowing paper cards during the transition, the industry is moving fully digital. ()
At Orlando DOT Physical, we stay ahead of these changes so you donāt have to.
