Driver's license physical

Learner's permit physical (PennDOT DL-180)

To get a Pennsylvania non-commercial learner's permit, you need a physical exam from a medical provider, recorded on PennDOT form DL-180. We complete the medical part of the form at either office.

How it fits into getting your permit

  1. Download the DL-180

    Print the Non-Commercial Learner's Permit Application (DL-180, PDF) (opens in a new tab) and fill in your part.

  2. Have your physical with us

    Our provider examines you and completes the medical section of the form.

  3. Go to a Driver License Center

    Take the completed DL-180 to a PennDOT Driver License Center for your eye screening and knowledge test.

PennDOT's full checklist, including the documents it asks for, is on the PennDOT "Get a driver's license" page (opens in a new tab).

Not for commercial licenses

This exam is for a regular (non-commercial) license. Commercial driver (CDL/DOT) medical exams must be done by a certified medical examiner on the federal registry, and we do not offer them.
