Need for the Document

• In the United States, a Self-Certification Medical Statement is a form that commercial drivers must complete to certify their medical fitness for driving a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). The form is used to self-certify the type of driving that the driver will be doing and whether the driver meets the medical qualifications for that type of driving.

Information which might help

There are four categories of driving that a commercial driver can self-certify for:

• Non-Excepted Interstate: Drivers who operate a commercial vehicle across state lines or internationally and are required to obtain a Medical Examiner's Certificate (MEC) to certify their physical fitness.
• Excepted Interstate: Drivers who operate a commercial vehicle across state lines or internationally but are not required to obtain an MEC because they are not subject to the FMCSA medical regulations.
• Non-Excepted Intrastate: Drivers who operate a commercial vehicle only within their state and are required to obtain an MEC to certify their physical fitness.
• Excepted Intrastate: Drivers who operate a commercial vehicle only within their state but are not required to obtain an MEC because they are not subject to the FMCSA medical regulations.

Other uses of the Document/Certificate
