Welcome to The NRCME Training Institute
Our Department of Transportation (DOT) accredited NRCME training program exceeds the core curriculum requirements established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Upon completion of our program, participants will have instant access to their personalized and dated Certificate of Completion, which is the document required to register for an account with the DOT and to sit for the $79 Medical Examiner national examination to become certified to perform Commercial Driver License (CDL) examinations on commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers for 10 years.
The DOT FMCSA National Registry was developed to improve highway safety and driver health by requiring that medical examiners be trained and certified to determine effectively whether a CMV driver’s health meets the FMCSA standards. Our program will educate providers about the FMCSA medical standards for CMV drivers and prepare them to sit for and pass the national examination.

1. Enroll in and complete our program to obtain your personalized and dated Certificate of Completion.
2. Once you pass our program, you will register for a certified Medical Examiner account with the DOT using the Certificate of Completion provided by this program. The DOT will issue you a 10-digit National Registry number and will verify your medical credentials (which can take 1 to 3 weeks).
3. Schedule the in-person $79 NRCME examination using your National Registry certification number, with either a PSI or Prometric testing company. To locate testing centers near you, visit Google Maps and search for “PSI Testing Center” or “Prometric Testing Center”. Testing centers are generally open six days a week at most locations.

The day you sit for the national exam, you will need:
1. Printed Certificate of Completion (or display your certificate on your smartphone if you forget to bring your printed certificate).
2. A valid state issued photo ID, where your name matches your Certificate of Completion.
3. A copy of your medical license.
Once the DOT has received and processed your passing exam score from the testing company, you will receive an email from the DOT with an official certificate indicating your status as a certified Medical Examiner (ME) listed on the National Registry who can perform CDL examinations on commercial motor vehicle drivers (which can take 1 to 3 weeks).
More than 3 weeks: If it has been more than 3 weeks since you applied for your National Registry number and cannot schedule the national exam, or more than 3 weeks since you passed the national exam and have not received your final certificate from the DOT, then contact the DOT directly at FMCTECHSUP@dot.gov (recommended) or by telephone at (617) 494-3003.
