Finding an FMCSA-certified medical examiner
When the federal interstate medical-examination requirement applies, the DOT physical must be performed by an FMCSA-certified medical examiner listed on the National Registry. The carrier must ensure medical qualification and retain the required evidence; the rules do not require it to choose or designate the examiner.
Use the official National Registry search by city, state or ZIP code, then contact a listed examiner directly to confirm appointment availability and the exam details the driver should bring.
DOT physical appointments and medical-certification records for drivers in Florida
Florida CDL holders should check FLHSMV’s self-certification category and medical-record guidance. Booking an examination does not by itself confirm the licensing record is current. A driver visiting a Florida examiner with a CDL from another state should follow the issuing state’s requirements.
Have identification ready, the examiner’s requested health and medication information, and any requested specialist reports for secure review. The certified examiner decides medical qualification. Check the current CDL or non-CDL evidence requirements, including any applicable exception or exemption.
When comparing providers serving Florida, ask about the examiner’s National Registry listing, appointment availability, records to bring and how the result will be reported.
For more detail, read our dot physical exams guide and DOT compliance services in Florida. Check the FMCSA National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners for the underlying requirements. See also Florida CDL record guidance.

DOT compliance questions for Florida
Who can perform a DOT physical examination?
When the federal interstate medical-examination requirement applies, use a certified medical examiner listed on the FMCSA National Registry. Check the examiner’s current listing before booking.
Does a non-CDL driver need a DOT physical?
Some non-CDL drivers are covered by the federal medical requirements. The answer depends on the vehicle and operation, not only on whether the driver holds a CDL.
How long will my medical certificate last?
The examiner decides the certification outcome and appropriate period within the applicable rules. A service provider cannot guarantee a full-length certificate or a pass.
Should a CDL driver rely only on a paper medical card?
Under NRII, the CDLIS medical-certification record is normally the electronic record used for CDL/CLP drivers. As checked September 9, 2026, FMCSA’s temporary exemption runs through October 11, 2026 and allows eligible interstate CDL/CLP holders and motor carriers to rely on a paper Medical Examiner’s Certificate for up to 60 days after issuance. Recheck the FMCSA NRII guidance after that date.
Can the actual DOT physical examination be done online?
The physical examination requires an in-person appointment with a qualified medical examiner. Online booking, record administration or general advice should not be confused with the examination itself.
Are the listed providers based in Florida?
The listings reflect declared service coverage for Florida; they do not prove a clinic in Florida or a current appointment. Confirm the examination location and verify the medical examiner’s current National Registry listing.
