Hey everyone,

Yes, another DL-51 thread. and i have searched and cant seem to find the answer.

So i recently got hired onto a company and they had me redo a DL-51 even though mine is only a year old. when i went to DMV to turn it in i was told they will only accept it with a ambulance drivers certificate, even though its a recertification.

Should i go to a different DMV? can i mail this in? first time to recertify for me and am at a loss.

Thanks!
 
Why do they want you to redo your medical?

If your DL-51 and ADL is valid, it should all be kosher right?
 
My general understanding of this is that nobody actually knows the inner workings of the process, not even the DMV.

Did your company know you had a valid DL 51?

In any case, I would look up the procedure for renewing the Ambulance certificate and following that.
 
Go to a different DMV (or at least a different person at the same DMV ). You should be able to renew your medical at any point. I have a commercial drivers license which is good for five years (ADL renews with DL). I have to renew my medical every two years, so they'll never lineup.

If you're not getting the answers you want from the regular service person, ask for the commercial driver specialist. They'll be able to help you out.

So you just walk in there and drop off the medical examination form?

Same way with the ambulance driver cert...it expires with the drivers lisence so it wont ever line up.

They did know. They told me to go ahead and renew it though since i had to go get drug tested and TB tested anyways.

They should line up every 10 years
