Submit Your Medical Card in Texas

Would be very surprised that they would accept a certified letter. Most government offices refuse them.

 

Yeah, not sure about that either.

 

This is a federal requirement and goes full effect Jan. 2014 they been delaying and delaying. I haven't checked into for Nc I keep getting letters and toss them away. But do they charge a fee for this? I mean my cdl is good for like 7years but the dot card is only good for 2years.

Not been delaying it.

It has been going on in many states already. The states were given a deadline of January 1, 2014 when it came out.

There was a poster on here a few months back who mentioned North Carolina.

When I first got my letter last year, I went to the MI SoS office with all the things I was told to bring. I spent 45 minutes waiting in line and then got to the counter, showed the girl the letter I got and she looked puzzled then said she had to ask the assistant manager what it was all about - no one in the office, including the branch manager had a clue what the program was all about. When I got my renewal this year, that was the very first thing they asked for. IF I don't get my DOT physical yearly and get them a copy, they suspend my CDL and they make me go through the process of examines and road tests IF I don't put a suspension on it myself.

 

So, what is stopping you from filling out your own medical certification and emailing it in PDF?

 

cant speak for any other state--but--last time I renewed my D/L(florida)they asked for my med card--then got the letter bout self-cert--w/web link to DMV--took about 3 minutes online and I got an email back in about 2 days confirming that it was done--no sweat at all-and was told doesn't effect renewal--since w/out hazmat--my last license is now a 10 year renewal
-IMHO--be kinda nice to stop carryin xtra card--once less thing to concern with
Just sayin

 

I emailed mine in and got a response back the next day saying

"Greetings,
Thank you for self certifying and/or providing your medical certificate to the Department. Your documents will be reviewed and processed in the order received. Please allow up to 30 business days for completion.
Again, thank you for allowing the Department of Public Safety to assist you.
Best Regards,
CDL Help Desk"

This was months ago and never got a response back so im not sure if it was done right or not how can you check it when i called to ask the ladies kinda didnt know what i was even talking about

 

I emailed the TxDPS CDL self certification program.

This is my email (with attachments):

This was their reply:

I was on a 3 month temporary card for high blood pressure. I had to bring the Concentra clinic a letter (Concentra form) from my doctor stating that I was being treated, and BP is under control with medication.

I had to pass BP test, which I did (140 over 82) at the Concentra clinic where the company does employment physicals. I got a one year medical certification since I'm on medication. The one year card is from the original exam (5/28/2013). Not from when the temporary card expires (8/28/2013).

 

I sent husbands by mail with return signature receipt as proof hopefully on his if ever needed. You might want to check with the postoffice about the best way. I was reading on web that I think it was the certified letter is done like packages where it is in the system like packages for tracking purposes, don't know if you can get a confirm on delivery or how that works. The return receipt that is mailed back to you (the green card) sometimes gets returned and sometimes doesn't, it is according to the how the mail is handled at the other end.
