What is a TLC medical exam?
A Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) medical exam, an essential step for obtaining a TLC driver's license, assesses if an individual's physical and mental health meets the Taxi and Limousine Commission’s stringent standards.
The TLC medical exam evaluates the applicant's medical history, including any pertinent details from their family's medical history. During the TLC medical exam, a licensed physician or healthcare provider performs various tests and health screenings to determine if the applicant can operate a vehicle and provide transportation services safely.
The results of this evaluation will be recorded on a TLC Medical Certification Form or a TLC medical exam form, which must be submitted along with other required documents for the TLC application process. The attending healthcare provider must also sign this TLC medical clearance form, indicating the applicant's overall physical and mental fitness to hold a TLC driver's license.
Candidates under 50 with driver's licenses frequently undergo a TLC medical exam every two years. Meanwhile, those over 50 years old are required to do so annually. This ensures that the individual's physical and mental fitness has not changed significantly since their previous evaluation.

Who needs a TLC Medical Certification Form?
Healthcare professionals may need to give TLC Medical Certification Forms to their patients applying for a TLC driver's license. Here are several instances where an individual would require a TLC medical exam:
- If they plan to drive a taxi or limousine in New York City
- If their current TLC driver's license is expiring and needs to be renewed
- If they have had any health conditions that may affect their ability to drive safely
- If they are changing the type of vehicle they will be operating (e.g., switching from driving a taxi to a limousine)
- If they are transferring their TLC license from another state or country
It is important to note that the requirements for a TLC physical exam may vary depending on the type of vehicle being operated and the specific regulations set by each state or country.
In addition to determining physical fitness, the TLC physical exam includes checks for infectious diseases like tuberculosis and hepatitis.
