HOW DO I SUBMIT REPORTS TO PennDOT?
According to Section 1518(b) of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code all physicians, chiropractors, physician assistants, and certified registered nurse practitioners, and other persons authorized to diagnose or treat disorders and disabilities shall report within 10 days, in writing, the full name, address, and date of birth of every person over 15 years of age diagnosed as having a condition that could impair their ability to drive. It is helpful to PennDOT in making a licensing determination if you include the conditions and any specific information about the condition. The report may be made by writing a letter or by using PennDOT’s Initial Reporting Form (DL-13). Without the cooperation of providers, thousands of impaired drivers would remain undetected by PennDOT. The public has a right to protection from death, injury, or property loss caused by impaired drivers. Physician Reporting plays a vital role in providing this protection.
