DMV Medical Evaluation Form

A Driver Medical Evaluation (DME) is a medical document used by the California DMV to assess an individual's physical and mental health and ability to obtain and drive safely.

The DMV sends the evaluation form to the individual, who completes the first page and then has their physician complete the rest. The completed form is then submitted to the DMV for review to determine if a license suspension is warranted.

The DMV can only suspend driving privileges if a doctor is there is a connection between the medical condition and safe driving. Factors considered include the nature of the condition, its permanence, and its impact on driving ability.
