SELF-CERTIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Use the information below to determine which of the 4 categories of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operation you should self-certify to:

Step 1:

Determine whether you currently operate or expect to operate a CMV in an Excepted or Non-Excepted status.

Excepted - You operate in Excepted commerce when you drive a CMV only for one or more of the following excepted activities:

•To transport school children and/or school staff between home and school

•As Federal, State or local government employees

•To transport human corpses or sick or injured persons

•Fire truck or rescue vehicle drivers during emergencies and other related activities

•Primarily in the transportation of propane winter heating fuel when responding to an emergency condition requiring immediate response such as damage to a propane gas system after a storm or flooding

•In response to a pipeline emergency condition requiring immediate response such as a pipeline leak or rupture

•In custom harvesting on a farm or to transport farm machinery and supplies used in the custom harvesting operation to and from a farm or to transport custom harvested crops to storage or market

•Beekeeper in the seasonal transportation of bees

•Controlled and operated by a farmer, but is not a combination vehicle (power unit and towed unit), and is used to transport agricultural products, farm machinery or farm supplies (no placard-able hazardous materials) to and from a farm and within 150 air-miles of the farm

•As a private motor carrier of passengers for non-business purposes

•To transport migrant workers

Non-Excepted - You operate in Non-Excepted commerce if you drive a CMV for any reason not listed in the Excepted category above.

Non-Excepted commerce operators are required to provide a current medical examiner's certificate (49 CFR 391.45), commonly referred to as a DOT card, to DMV.

Exams must have been performed by a medical professional listed on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners (https://nationalregistry.fmcsa.dot.gov).

NOTE: If you operate in both Excepted commerce and Non-Excepted commerce, you must select Non-Excepted commerce to be qualified to operate in both types of commerce.

Step 2:

Determine whether you currently operate or expect to operate a CMV in Interstate or Intrastate commerce.

Interstate commerce - You operate in Interstate commerce when you drive a CMV:

•From one State to another State or a foreign country

•Between two places within a State, but during part of the trip, the CMV crosses into another State or foreign country

•Between two places within a State, but the cargo or passengers are part of a trip that began or will end in another State or foreign country

Intrastate commerce - You operate in Intrastate commerce when you drive a CMV within a State and you do not meet any of the descriptions above for Interstate commerce.

NOTE: If you operate in both Intrastate commerce and Interstate commerce, you must select Interstate commerce.

Medical Requirements Summary:

Step 3:

Provide your self-certification of your operating status. If you self-certify to Non-excepted Interstate or Non-Excepted Intrastate, you must provide either the original or copy of your current medical examiner's certificate.
