Medical Certification - Get a Medical Certificate

• Print

To obtain a medical certificate you must be examined by an FAA-designated Aviation Medical Examiner (AME). As the airman you should follow these steps to apply for and obtain your medical certificate:

• Use MedXPress, to complete the initial portion of the application.
• Schedule an appointment with the AME of your choosing.

At your scheduled appointment, the AME will complete your medical examination and the remainder of the FAA application form. If you meet the required medical standards, the AME will issue you a medical certificate.

Note: It is possible to obtain your medical certificate without using MedXPress; however, we encourage you to use MedXPress as its use expedites the application process.
