What can you do if your license is canceled for medical reasons?
- You always have the option of providing a new/updated Medical Examination Report
MV3644 or the Certificate of Vision Examination by Competent Authority MV3030V if your condition improves. An improvement may help you meet medical standards and re-establish your ability to drive safely. If you send the DMV a new report, we will review it and send you a letter with the results.
- You may appeal the decision to cancel by requesting a review by the Medical Review Board. Information about this process is mailed with every cancellation/denial notice.
- Drivers whose license is canceled for failing an exam must demonstrate an ability to pass the exam before further licensing.
