FMCSA mandates electronic medical certificates for CDL drivers from June 23, 2025. See how Datatruck TMS helps fleets stay compliant.

What’s New?

Starting June 23, 2025, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires all commercial driver medical certificates (MECs) to be uploaded electronically by certified medical examiners. No more paper copies — results will transfer directly to State Driver Licensing Agencies (SDLAs) through the FMCSA National Registry II (NRII)

Key updates:

Medical examiners must upload exam results within 24 hours.
SDLAs receive and update driver MVRs automatically.
Carriers and drivers no longer submit or carry paper MECs.

Why It Matters for Fleets

Key wins for fleets:

Instant verification of driver medical status through MVR.
Reduced paperwork, lost documents, and fraudulent certificates.
Faster compliance checks for audits and roadside inspections.

States like Texas have already transitioned, citing faster, safer, and more reliable driver monitoring.
