How to Fax DMV Medical and License Forms

Updated October 2026

The DMV sent a letter asking for a medical report, or your doctor finished a driver medical form, and it has to reach the state before your license is at risk. You can fax it for $1.00 for up to 10 pages, but only to the number your state's medical review unit uses or the number written on your own letter or form.

Below are the medical fax numbers we verified on official state sites for Texas, Florida, New York and Pennsylvania. California is different: it lists no Driver Safety fax, so read that section before you send anything there.

Verified DMV Medical Fax Numbers by State

Texas DPS says information may be submitted by mail, fax or email, and the Medical History Form says email or fax is recommended for faster processing. If your state is not listed, use only the fax number printed on your DMV letter or form. We list only numbers we checked on official state pages.

California: No Driver Safety Fax Is Listed

California DMV does not publish a statewide Driver Safety fax number. Here is what the official pages show:

• The DS 326 Driver Medical Evaluation has "FAX NUMBER" and "RETURN BY" boxes that are left blank on the form and filled in for each case. The current posted sample says to return it to LADDSElSegundoOffice@dmv.ca.gov, which is an email address, not a fax.
• The Driver Safety Offices page lists one office, El Segundo, with phone (833) 543-7703 and that same email address. No fax is shown.
• DMV has announced the closure of its Fresno and Stockton Driver Safety offices.

916-657-6525 is not a fax number. It is the phone number for the Mandatory Actions Unit, and California DMV's own account has called it that. Do not fax medical forms to it. The Records Request page faxes, (916) 928-6817, (916) 657-6243 and (916) 657-6733, belong to Records in Bulk, Public Records Act requests and Form 700, not to medical review.

So in California, fax your DS 326 only if a fax number is written on your own form or DMV letter. Otherwise use the email on the form, or call (833) 543-7703 and ask.

Deadlines That Can Cost You Your License

Your DMV letter or form sets your date. The California DS 326 has its own "RETURN BY" box. In Texas, DPS says you can request a hearing up to 20 days after a revocation notice, and otherwise the revocation takes effect 45 days from the notice date.

In Pennsylvania, the deadline is on the provider: health care providers must report within 10 days of a diagnosis under Vehicle Code 1518(b), though not for conditions expected to last under 90 days. Fax as soon as the form is complete, and keep your confirmation email.

What to Put on the Cover Page and Each Page

The cover page should list your full name, date of birth, driver license number, the form name, the unit it is for (for example "Medical Review Unit"), any case or reference number from your letter, your phone number and the page count.

Put your name and license number at the top of every page. Make sure the doctor has signed where the form asks before you scan it.

Which form goes where

In New York, DMV uses the MV-80U.1 physician statement (if DMV requests it), the MV-80L eye test report, the MV-80, which may be brought to an interview, and the DS-6 and DS-7 reports. Follow your DMV letter for each form's route. In Texas, the Medical History Form is completed by your treating provider and returned to the Medical Advisory Board at DSHS. In Florida, vision reports go to the Vision Section and other medical reports to the Medical Review Section.

Most medical forms with a cover page run two to six pages, so they cost $1.00. Up to 10 pages is $1.00, 11 to 25 is $1.99 and 26 to 50 is $2.99.

How to Send It for $1.00

1. Scan or photograph the signed form into one PDF with your cover page.
2. Go to FaxForADollar.com and upload the file.
3. Type the 10-digit fax number, area code first, for example 5184022991. The +1 is already added, so do not type a leading 1.
4. Pay $1.00. No account and nothing to cancel.

It is usually delivered within a few minutes. Nothing is printed on your document. You get a confirmation email with the destination number, page count and time (Eastern Time), your record of exactly when it was sent. If the fax fails, the money goes back to your card automatically and you can send again.

FaxForADollar is not HIPAA compliant and does not sign a BAA. A patient sending their own form is not a covered entity. If the DMV or your doctor's office wants to fax something back to you, GetAFax.com gives you a US fax number for 24 hours for $5, up to 30 pages, delivered to your email.
