DMV delays registration requirements, allows online MER/MEC filling, waives late fees and extends permits and ID’s
To submit MER/MEC forms through the DMV Virtual Office, CDL holders must visit DMV’s Virtual Office, complete the required fields, and upload approved MER/MEC forms completed by a licensed U.S. doctor of medicine (M.D.), doctor of osteopathy (D.O.), physician’s assistant (P.A.), doctor of chiropractic (D.C.) or advanced practice registered nurse (APRN). A DMV employee will correspond with the CDL holder through email if more information/documents are required. The CDL holder will receive a confirmation email when the transaction is complete and their record has been updated to reflect the new MER/MEC.
NOTE: The CDL holder must have a current, non-expired CDL in order to submit the MER/MEC through the DMV Virtual Office. An expired CDL record will not allow the MER/MEC to update.
