What impact does the National Registry have on CMV drivers and motor carriers?

National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners Deadline May 21st, 2014 Approaches

As of May 21, 2014, interstate CMV drivers are required to obtain physical examinations and a medical examiner's certificate from a certified medical examiner listed on the National Registry website.

Is this program applicable to both interstate and intrastate CMV drivers?

No, this program is only applicable to interstate drivers. Intrastate drivers must follow State requirements concerning medical certification.

How is the medical certificate issued by an ME on the National Registry different from the current medical certificate?

The new medical certificate will contain the same information as the current medical certificate, but will now include the ME's National Registry number.
