How long is a “Medical Examiner’s Certificate” valid?

DOT certifications can be given for as little as 3 months and as much as 2 years. The certification length depends on your health.

If you use glasses or contacts bring them with you so you can use them during your vision test. We are looking for a visual acuity of at least 20/40 in each eye with or without corrective lenses.
Having high blood pressure will not disqualify you, but it does need to be control with medication.
If you wear hearing aids bring them with you, so you can use them during your hearing test.
We are not performing a drug test. We are testing for specific gravity, protein, blood, and sugar. This will give us an indication of other possible health conditions.
