What DVLA Form Do I Need For My Bus Driver Medical?
The DVLA form bus drivers need for the medical is called the D4 medical examiner report for a Group 2 (lorry or bus) driving licence. You can download the bus driver medical form from the DVLA website. If you’re renewing your bus driver licence the DVLA may have sent you the paper form already. Once you take the medical, your D4 form is valid for up to 4 months.
You’ll also need some other paperwork on the day of your bus driver medical. Don’t forget your driving licence or passport for photo ID.
And you also need to bring medical info. You’ll need details of any prescriptions and regular medicine, glasses or contact lens prescriptions, and details of any medical conditions and consultations.
Who can issue medical certificate for driving license near me?
Only a licensed doctor with full GMC registration can complete the bus driver medical – the vision test can be carried out by a doctor, optometrist, or optician. You can ask your GP, but some drivers find it hard to book an appointment with their busy local clinic.
At My Driver Medical, your assessment will be carried out by a fully licensed and GMC registered doctor with years of experience in the NHS. We can also complete the D4 eyesight test.

How long does a DVLA medical assessment take?
