Medical review FAQ
How long do I have to be seizure free before I
can drive again?
NJAC 13:19-5.1 et. seq. requires that you be seizure
free for six months before you may re-apply, however, all medical review cases
are handled on an individual basis. You can contact the Medical Review Unit for
further information.
If I am suspended for being medically
unqualified to drive, how do I re-apply?
You can contact the Medical Review Unit and the appropriate
forms will be sent to you. You will be contacted by mail on the outcome of our
review.
Do I need to pay a restoration fee?
If you are only suspended for being Medically
Unqualified, you will not have to pay a restoration fee, however, if you have a
suspension for any other reason you will be required to pay the $100.00
restoration fee.
If I move out of state, do I have to continue
to interval report?
No, however, you must provide the Medical Review Unit
with proof of your new state of residency. Acceptable proof is a driver license
from that state, copy of your lease or mortgage statement, or a utility
(telephone, electric, etc.) bill.

have a CDL?
According to Chapter 49 of the Commercial Federal
Regulation (CFR) 391.41 and by authority of NJAC 13:21-14.5, a person is
disqualified from driving a commercial motor vehicle if he/she has an
established medical history or diagnosis of epilepsy or any other condition
which is likely to cause loss of consciousness or loss of ability to control a
commercial motor vehicle.

Vehicle Sun-Screening Certificate?

medically unqualified, you may request a hearing in accordance with NJAC
13:19-1.1, specifying disputed materials and/or legal issues.
Why was I scheduled for a re-exam?
Different circumstances can lead to scheduling a
driver for a re-exam. Some examples are: 2 chargeable accidents within a 6
month time period, a court order by a judge, recommendation from a physician or
a rehabilitation facility, or recommendation from the MVC Medical Advisory
Panel.
