Delaware’s Division of Motor Vehicles has launched an online self-certification option for commercial driver license holders to upload their Medical Examiner’s Certificate.
“Adding the ability to self-certify to myDMV is a game changer for our CDL drivers, especially for drivers unable to visit our locations during normal operating hours,” said Nicole Majeski, the state’s Secretary of Transportation, about the system. “Now, they can submit their certification online from wherever they are 24 hours a day 7 days a week.”
Drivers who hold a CDL must be physically qualified to operate a commercial motor vehicle, per Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations.
The agency maintains medical certification guidelines applicable for all CDL holders and applicants, who must provide a self-certification about their driving status.

Based on their self-certification status, drivers may be required to submit and maintain a copy of their medical certificate with their state DMV. Not having a valid federal medical certificate on file at a DMV can result in a CDL being downgraded to a noncommercial, Class D privilege-only license.
“We expect this to be one of our most popular features on myDMV,” said Jana Simpler, director of the Delaware DMV. “It saves our CDL drivers time. It’s convenient. It’s easy and it gives our drivers peace of mind knowing their certification was updated and received by DMV.”

The DMV also has an online Self-Certification Category Guide to help drivers determine if they need to provide a copy of their medical certificate.
