Plan signed forms around your examination

If the insulin-treated diabetes assessment (MCSA-5870) or alternative vision evaluation (MCSA-5871) applies, the medical examiner must receive the completed form and begin the examination within 45 calendar days after the appropriate clinician signs it. Arrange the provider visit around your examination date; do not complete the assessment so early that it falls outside that window.

After your examination

Ask about your result, any follow-up and your actual certificate expiration date. Save that date and plan renewal ahead of time. A booking or account registration does not renew your certificate.

CDL/CLP drivers should follow their licensing state’s instructions and confirm its medical-certification record is current. Paper-certificate requirements differ for non-CDL drivers. Read our North Carolina medical certificate and NRII guide.

These instructions help you prepare. The certified medical examiner determines which records are needed and whether you meet the applicable standards. Bringing a form does not guarantee certification.
