If necessary, you may also be issued a 45-day temporary license to allow time to obtain your physician's certification on the driver license application.
We understand that mobility and independence are crucial to all District residents. Therefore, it is our goal to work with you to ensure you can continue to safely drive. In many cases, it may be necessary to restrict driving to daylight hours or to require special equipment on your vehicle. In other cases, your physician may make recommendations to us about ways in which you can continue to drive.
Many of you self-regulate by electing to stop driving when you believe you are no longer able to safely operate a vehicle. If you decide to discontinue driving, we encourage you to exchange your driver license for an identification card (ID). For seniors 65 years and older, identification cards are free of charge.
