Who We Are
If you have a mental or physical condition that may impair your ability to safely operate a motor vehicle, you must provide DMV with a medical statement from your physician, your physician's assistant, or your nurse practitioner. The medical statement must be provided even if the medical condition is temporary. Some of these conditions include:
- Level of consciousness
- Seizures
- Vision changes
- Impairment of judgment
- Loss of motor functions
DMV's Seizure/Blackout Policy, established by our Medical Advisory Board, states that a person must be seizure-free or blackout-free for at least six months to establish medication and regain proper medical control before driving. If a person is currently licensed and DMV is notified that the person has experienced a seizure, loss of consciousness or blackout, DMV will suspend the person's driving privilege for a period of six months from the date of the last episode.
DMV will evaluate the medical information to determine if a driver's license may be issued or restricted.
