Getting a DOT physical in District of Columbia
Every location listed here has at least one examiner on the FMCSA National Registry. That registration is the only thing that makes an exam valid. A clinic can be excellent and still be unable to issue your card if nobody on staff is certified, which is why this directory is built from the registry itself rather than from business listings.
The busiest markets in District of Columbia are Washington and Washington Navy Yard. Rural counties often have a single certified examiner, sometimes a nurse practitioner at a county health clinic, so book ahead if you are outside a metro area.
Bring photo ID, your CDL or permit, and a complete medication list. If you use a CPAP, bring the compliance download. If you are diabetic, bring a recent A1C. If you have had a cardiac event, bring the clearance letter. Missing paperwork is the number one reason a driver walks out with a short-term card or no card at all.
Frequently asked questions
How many DOT physical locations are there in District of Columbia?
District of Columbia has 41 locations across 2 cities with at least one examiner on the FMCSA National Registry, 61 certified examiners in total.
Can any doctor do a DOT physical in District of Columbia?
No. Since May 2014, only a medical examiner listed on the FMCSA National Registry can perform a DOT physical and issue a medical examiner's certificate. That includes MDs, DOs, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and chiropractors, as long as they hold the certification. Your regular family doctor cannot do it unless they are on the registry.
Where can I get a same-day DOT physical in District of Columbia?
11 of the 41 locations in District of Columbia are walk-in or urgent care clinics. Those are the ones most likely to take you the same day, often with evening and weekend hours.
How long is a DOT medical card good for in District of Columbia?
Up to 24 months, and the rule is federal, so it is the same in every state. Examiners issue shorter cards, commonly 3 or 12 months, when they want to monitor blood pressure, diabetes or a heart condition. See the renewal rules.
