WV Division of Motor Vehicles improves CDL medical certification process
CHARLESTON, WV (WVNS) — The West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announced that residents holding a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) in West Virginia will not be required to submit a Medical Examiner's Certificate to the DMV. According to a press release, the medical provider that performs the evaluation will enter the information into a secure database, which will then be sent to the DMV. Through the process, providers have until the end of business on the day after the exam to put the information in the database. The process is set to begin on June 23, 2025. Fayette County veteran honored with bridge dedication Because of this, CDL holders will not need to provide a paper copy of their examination to the DMV. While it can still be gotten from the provider, it will not be necessary to submit the certificate to the DMV. The purpose of the change is to assist drivers in updating their medical records faster and more accurately, which reduces the risk of issues that arise from an outdated medical card. The DMV urges all CDL holders to keep current with their medical certifications to make sure their services are not interrupted. No paper medical certificates will be accepted by the DMV after June 23, 2025, the release stated. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
