Medical Certification for Professional Licenses: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn about the mandatory medical examinations required for professional drivers to maintain their legal driving status and licenses.
This scheme provides the medical clearance required for certain individuals to maintain their professional driving licenses.
Who it's for
This requirement applies to drivers who have reached a certain age (over 60) or those who have specific medical conditions that necessitate extra scrutiny.
What you get
Once you pass the required medical exam, you receive the legal clearance necessary to continue driving professionally and keep your license valid.
What it costs you
You will need to pay a fee for the medical examination. You should also account for potential wait times when scheduling your appointment with the local health authority.
The catch to know
It is important to remember that the medical commission performs much stricter evaluations than a standard visit with your regular doctor.
How to apply
- Check your current license to see if you are due for a renewal or if your age requires a new check.
- Contact your local health authority to book a medical exam.
- Attend the appointment to undergo the necessary health assessments.
- Present your results to the relevant licensing authority to ensure your professional status remains active.
