What Is the Driver Medical Evaluation Form?
DS‑326 collects critical data about a driver’s vision, cardiovascular health, neurological conditions, and any medication that may affect safe operation of a vehicle. The DMV uses this information to decide whether to issue, renew, or restrict a driver’s license.
