As State Driver’s Licensing Agencies (SDLAs) and certified medical examiners continue to transition to the secure electronic transmission of medical certification data required under the National Registry II (NRII) final rule, now only 5 states have not transitioned. They are:
Alaska
California
Kentucky
Louisiana
New Hampshire
Currently there is a waiver in existence allowing interstate commercial driver’s license (CDL) holders, commercial learner’s permit (CLP) holders, and motor carriers to continue relying on a paper copy of the medical examiner’s certificate as proof of medical certification for up to 60 days after the date the medical examiner’s certificate was issued until April 10, 2026. It is possible this waiver could be extended until all states are compliant.
