DOT Physical FAQ
4 Common reasons drivers get delayed and how to avoid them.
Do I need to bring my driver’s license to a DOT physical?
Yes. You must bring a valid driver’s license or government-issued photo ID to your DOT physical. The medical examiner must verify your identity before completing the exam or issuing a medical certificate.
What should I bring if I use CPAP?
If you use a CPAP, bring a compliance report. If you’ve been referred for a sleep study, we’ll need results or documentation that meets DOT standards.
Do I need my glasses or contacts for a DOT physical?
You must test using the corrective lenses you drive with. Bring your glasses or contacts (and a backup if you have one).
Should I bring a medication list to my DOT physical?
Bring a current medication list. If a medication requires provider documentation, we’ll tell you exactly what form is needed.
What if my blood pressure is high during a DOT physical?
If your blood pressure is elevated, you may receive a shorter certification period or be asked
for follow-up documentation. Bring your medication list if you take BP meds.
Do I still get a laminated DOT medical card for my wallet?
Yes. After your DOT physical, you will receive a laminated DOT medical card that fits in your wallet.
The medical card will be reported
electronically, which updates your CDL record.
How long is a DOT medical card valid?
A DOT medical card can be issued for up to 2 years if you meet all medical requirements. Some drivers receive
shorter certification periods (such as 1 year or 3 months) depending on medical conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes.
How long does a DOT physical take?
Most DOT physical exams take about 30–45 minutes. The visit includes a health history review, vision and hearing checks,
blood pressure measurement and a physical examination by a certified medical examiner.
