Waiver extends the expiration date of CDL Medical Certificates

From the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has issued an additional waiver for Commercial Driver License (CDL) Medical Certificates (also known as a medical card). This waiver extends the expiration date of CDL Medical Certificates as follows:

  • Certificates that expired between March 1, 2020 and May 31, 2020 will expire on October 31, 2020
  • Certificates that expire or are expiring between June 1, 2020 and December 30, 2020 will expire on December 31, 2020

Affected customers will receive an email from the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) informing them of the extension. These customers must self-certify, which can be done through the RMV’s Online Service Center, prior to the expiration dates listed above or their CDL will be downgraded to a Class D license.
