Driver medical forms and fitness-to-drive reports across Canada

Provincial fitness-to-drive exams, mandatory and discretionary reporting forms, and Transport Canada's aviation and marine medicals, with who completes each.

Licensing agencies ask clinicians to confirm that a patient can drive safely at set ages, for commercial licence classes, or when a condition may affect driving. Key forms include BC's Driver's Medical Examination Report (MV2011D), Alberta's Medical Examination for Motor Vehicle Operators (TRANS3050), Ontario's Commercial Driver Medical Report (SR-LC-080E) and the SAAQ's Rapport sur l'état de santé (form 6228). Transport Canada adds aviation and marine medicals, such as the Civil Aviation Medical Examination Report (26-0010).

Reporting rules differ. In Ontario, the Medical Condition Report (5108E) is mandatory for prescribed high-risk conditions and discretionary for others, and optometrists use the Vision Report (5109E). Manitoba's Report to Registrar of Motor Vehicles is mandatory for physicians and optometrists. BC's MV2351 report becomes mandatory when a warned patient keeps driving, while reporting in Alberta is voluntary. Many of these exams are not covered by the provincial health plan, so the driver often pays.

How this list is checked

A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms change without notice, so download the current version from the official page before you fill it in.

Frequently asked questions

When is Ontario's Medical Condition Report (5108E) mandatory?

When a patient has one of the prescribed high-risk conditions, reporting is mandatory under HTA section 203(1). Physicians, nurse practitioners and occupational therapists may also report other conditions that may make driving dangerous under section 203(2); OTs report on a discretionary basis only. A ticked mandatory condition results in licence suspension. Submit both pages by fax or mail, or through eForms at participating clinics. The form prints OHIP fee code K035.

Who can complete a Transport Canada aviation medical?

Only a Civil Aviation Medical Examiner (CAME) designated by Transport Canada completes the Civil Aviation Medical Examination Report (26-0010), and findings go through the online eMER. Any physician or optometrist can report an aviation-relevant condition on the Medical Condition Reporting Form (26-0011). For a student pilot permit (aeroplane) or recreational pilot permit, a family physician can countersign Part B of the Category 4 medical declaration (26-0297).

Who pays for a driver's medical exam?

Usually the driver. Alberta's TRANS3050 is not insured by AHCIP, SGI's commercial driver medical (form 3167) says physicians cannot bill SGI, Ontario's SR-LC-080E is not an OHIP or MTO benefit, and SAAQ form 6228 fees are paid by the person examined. BC's blue DMER is the exception: when the Superintendent requests it, it is billed to MSP through Teleplan.

What is the DMER in BC?

The Driver's Medical Examination Report (MV2011D) is the fitness-to-drive exam RoadSafetyBC sends to drivers aged 80 and over, commercial drivers at set intervals (yellow DMER) and drivers with known or suspected conditions (blue DMER). RoadSafetyBC issues it to the driver with a barcode, so the sample PDF online will not be accepted. A physician or NP completes it and returns it by fax or mail by the printed deadline.
