OAR 735-063-0230: Medical Qualification Procedures for CDL or CLP

(1) An applicant for a CDL or CLP must be medically examined and certified in accordance with 49 CFR 391.43 as physically qualified to operate a CMV by a medical examiner, as defined in 49 CFR 390.5. The medical certification information is uploaded by a medical examiner to the National Registry and transmitted electronically to DMV. The information provided to DMV is proof of medical qualification, as described in OAR 735-063-0220. DMV will not issue a CDL or CLP if the person does not have a valid Medical Examiner’s Certification on file or if DMV receives information from the National Registry that a person’s proof of medical qualification is denied, rescinded, voided or revoked. (2) To maintain proof of medical qualification to operate a CMV, the holder of a CDL or CLP must have valid medical certification information in the CDLIS driver record. Proof of medical qualification must be electronically transmitted from the National Registry to DMV to be accepted by DMV. (3) DMV is not responsible for any expenses a CDL or CLP applicant or holder may incur to obtain and maintain medical certification or to update the National Registry.
