New Medical Certifications Requirements

 

Contact the Tennessee DMV/ MVD or whatever the licensing agency is called. Explain your situation and find a solution. A DOT Medical Card is only good for a maximum of 2 years. The expiration date on your Drivers License does not affect your Physical renewal. Some States will just downgrade your license.

 

@Numb has the correct answer. Just IMMEDIATELY submit the self-certification for to TN and check the 2nd option. Also, keep checking with TN via phone or email until you get confirmation they have your new self-certification. I got a verbal OK from TN and then while I was OTR got a letter from TN saying I had a few days to get a new medical or my CDL would be downgraded. Keep written proof from TN to confirm your new status.

 

My state does this
But they downgrade the license to a regular dL
Then when you submit the physical it gets changed back . you don’t have to take the written or driving test or anything again

at least that’s the way it seemed to work for me

and I self certified for several years when I wasn’t driving
Just sign the form and fax it to the dmv

 

"Claim an exemption" are the key words I'm seeing here.

 

Nobody has done the $500 zoom physical yet?

 

Can I take the endorsement off at the dmv directly?
