    it would change nothing if is not uploaded into the national registry, they dont take a hard copy and apparently the medical examiner isnt the one who sends it to the DMV

    If they are gonna let you go for what you can’t get handled due to it being out of your control…..do you really want to work for them?

    Allow me to repeat myself and fill in the blank that I SHOULDNT have to fill in.

    Go to a chiropractor and get a new card.
    --->>> Take the card to the MN DMV office (like you would any other time you got a new physical). <<<--- (This is the "fill in the blank" line)
    Whats the big deal?

    Don't know about MN. but Georgia will not take the card at the DDS Georgia's version of DMV. As of mid July it changed. Now the Doctor that does the physical has to enter it in the data base. In Georgia you can open a account with DDS and see that your physical expiration date is upgraded. One of our drivers had a problem, the doctor entered it wrong and DDS was about to downgrade his license before he got the doctor to fix it . It'll probably be a better way of doing it once all the bugs get worked out.

    Pay attention to the key word “electronically”

    “Medical examiners must electronically submit results to the FMCSA's National Registry within one calendar day of the physical exam. “

    They actually mailed it in?
    I’d be calling them back and explaining what reality is actually about :)
