Bring the documentation
The commonest reason a driver leaves without a certificate is missing paperwork for a condition that would otherwise pass. Gather the letters before you come.
How long is the certificate valid?
Up to twenty-four months. Certain conditions require a shorter certification period, which the examiner will explain.
Do I need an appointment?
Walk-in is usually fine, but calling ahead means we can confirm a certified examiner is on site at the time you plan to come.
What does it cost?
DOT examinations are not a covered insurance benefit and are paid at the time of the visit. Call either clinic for the current price.
