MA RMV MAB108: Loss of Consciousness Evaluation

Massachusetts drivers who have had a seizure, syncope or other altered consciousness must surrender their license for six months. MAB108 is the physician's evaluation the RMV uses to restore, extend or shorten that period: the date and cause of the most recent episode, how the condition is controlled, the degree of impairment during episodes and the probability of recurrence, followed by a driving qualification certification.

Who completes it

A medical doctor licensed in Massachusetts completes the whole form after the patient signs the release, and certifies under the pains and penalties of perjury with an NPI, or Board of Registration number if there is no NPI.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Mail or fax it to the RMV's Driver Control Unit, as printed on the form. The current version is MAB108 09/25.

Good to know

  • To shorten the six-month period, answer yes to the waiver request in item 7 and give explicit reasons; the RMV also needs every item the form asks for.
  • If qualification cannot yet be determined, the physician can recommend that the license stay surrendered and give a month and year for the RMV to re-evaluate.
  • Even when certifying the patient as qualified, the physician states whether a competency road examination should come before the license is restored.
  • Give the probability of recurrence with specific reasons and the frequency of past episodes; this estimate drives the RMV's decision.

Frequently asked questions

How long must a Massachusetts driver stop driving after a seizure?

The RMV policy requires a driver who has had a seizure, syncope or other altered consciousness to surrender the license until episode-free for at least six months. The RMV can shorten or extend that period based on the physician's evaluation and recommendations.

Can a physician ask the RMV to waive the six-month period?

Yes. The physician must specifically request the waiver, give explicit reasons, and supply all the information the form requires, including the date and cause of the last episode, how the condition is controlled and the probability of recurrence, with a certification that the condition and medications will not interfere with safe driving.

Is a letter accepted instead of MAB108?

After six episode-free months, the RMV accepts either MAB108 or a written statement from the health care provider covering the same points: last episode date, cause, control and medications, degree of impairment, probability of recurrence, and a certification of fitness to drive.
