 Possible Eligibility = The FMCSA has not received verification from your state licensing board that the DOT exam is within the scope of practice for your profession. You may proceed with registration, but the FMCSA must receive verification from your state licensing board before certifying you. We recommend that you delay your certification test until the state licensing board has confirmed that the DOT exam is within your scope of practice.

NOTE: We periodically update this information and welcome your notice of any updates. For verification of a provider's current eligibility, visit the DOT and apply for an account: https://nationalregistry.fmcsa.dot.gov/register/medical-examiner
