DMV Medical Exam
Your RCMS Primary Care Provider can provide you with a medical exam for a commercial driver’s license permit if certain requirements are met. These include that your operation of a commercial vehicle never takes you across the state line outside of California. That is referred to as an intrastate license. RCMS cannot complete exams for interstate licenses (crossing state lines), operating school buses, public paratransit vehicles, farm labor vehicles, or fire/safety vehicles. For these exam certificates, one must obtain an exam from a provider listed on the national registry (https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/national-registry/national-registry-certified-medical-examiners). There are medical providers on this list located in Ukiah and the Santa Rosa area.
