State of Health and Licences

Processing the reports and our decision

Step 0 Processing the reports and our decision

After we have analyzed your medical examination and vision test reports, we will render one of the following decisions:

  • to maintain your driver's licence
  • to maintain your driver's licence and add certain conditions
  • to suspend your driver’s licence
  • to deny your application for a driver’s licence

If you disagree with our decision

You can apply for a review of the decision with our review office.

If you still disagree with the decision, you can contest it before the Administrative Tribunal of Québec.

You may also contest our decision directly before the Administrative Tribunal of Québec without first filing an application for review with our review office.

Rest assured!

You should know that very few people have their driver's licence withdrawn after a medical examination or vision test. However, some people have to respect certain conditions to be allowed to continue to drive. For example:

  • avoiding driving at night
  • wearing corrective lenses to drive
  • driving a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission
