Indiana BMV State Form 50018: Physician's Certificate

This physician's certificate lets the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles hear directly about a medical impairment that affects a patient's ability to drive, and the BMV weighs it in licensing decisions. It sits among the BMV's driver's license and permit forms, next to the Request for Driver Ability Review (State Form 54750) and the vision certificates.

Good to know

  • The BMV asks that forms be filled out completely, with any required supporting documentation, to avoid processing delays.
  • If the Driver Ability Department opens a review, it sends the driver a different physician form, State Form 54747 Medical Review Form, with a 60-day deadline.
  • Not returning the requested Driver Ability information on time results in automatic invalidation of the driver's privileges.
  • Review outcomes can include more information, a driving evaluation with a certified driver rehabilitation specialist, restrictions, follow-up every 6, 12 or 24 months, or revocation.

Frequently asked questions

Is State Form 50018 the same as the Indiana Medical Review Form?

No. State Form 50018 is the Physician's Certificate of Medical Impairment listed among the BMV's license and permit forms. When the Driver Ability Department opens a review, it sends a separate Medical Review Form, State Form 54747, which the driver's primary care or treating physician must complete.

How can a physician ask the Indiana BMV to review a driver?

Any medical professional can request a review on State Form 54750, Request for Driver Ability Review, completed in full and sent by mail, email or fax. The Driver Ability Department will not process anonymous requests and notifies the driver by mail if a review is warranted.
