Times must of changed then. Where I had taken my physical, they told me clearly, not to mail it(the old physical was about to expire the following day), to walk it in. I just took another physical a month ago and I still walk it in. Gives me a piece of mind. Thanks for the update on how they work. I’ll be visiting the local office again(DMV) at the end of the year for registration and I’m going to ask this same question about scanning. But I do believe different states have there own procedures.

You can get it done on the very last day before it expires. Get it done(wherever you go) and “WALK IT IN THE DMV OFFICE YOURSELF DIRECTLY” near the closest office. They will put in the there DMV system on the spot. That’s it, nothing to it. And, make sure you get a receipt from them that they entered it, also keep a copy of the DOT physical with you.
Been there, done that.

So true...I got a Physical done in Iowa just to have proof I had it done incase I got pulled over....as soon as I got back to California I headed straight to the DMV where they immediately updated my medical..

I also asked the DMV lady if I can turn in my medical in another state and she said no....whatever state you have the license in that's the state you have to submit your DOT physical paperwork
