FMCSA has zero tolerance for fraud in our safety systems – that includes the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse.

We’re rolling out enhanced identity verification, starting with new registrations for employers, Medical Review Officers, Consortium/Third-party administrators (C/TPAs) and Substance Abuse Professionals through IDEMIA – the same platform used by TSA.

With more than 6 million users in the Clearinghouse, the stakes are too high to leave any gaps.

Next, these stronger standards will be applied to all existing Clearinghouse accounts for the same user groups

If you’re in the system, you’ll be verified. Period.

Attention drivers:

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is making the transition to electronic medical certification a little easier.

✅ From April 11 to October 11, 2026, you can continue using your paper Medical Examiner’s Certificate as proof of certification for up to 60 days after it’s issued.

This gives you extra time while systems move to secure electronic records under NRII.

💡 Tip: Keep your paper certificate with you, even as your examiner submits your results electronically.
