Medical Review Process

Florida has a Medical Advisory Board that consists of
doctors who advise the DHSMV on medical criteria

and vision standards as they relate to the privilege of
having a Florida driver license. The board also reviews
medical/vision reports and makes recommendations
regarding a person’s ability to drive safely.

After the DHSMV receives a report regarding an
unsafe driver, they will notify the reported driver
that they need to take action. Depending on the
reported findings, the driver may be required to take
a re-examination (vision, written, or driving test) or

submit a medical report from their doctor for review by
the Medical Advisory Board. The board then considers
all available facts including the driver’s medical
condition(s), driving record, and crash history when
making their final recommendation.
