KDOR Division of Vehicles:
Medical/Vision Review Information

KDOR accepts “Letters of Concern” from courts, exam stations, law enforcement, family members, the medical community, and concerned citizens.

A “Letter of Concern” must specifically state an issue regarding the driver’s ability to safely operate a motor vehicle, include the driver’s name and date of birth or Kansas Driver’s License number and be signed by the person writing the letter.

After receiving the “Letter of Concern”, this office takes appropriate action. Our office sends the driver a letter and forms requiring the forms be submitted within 30 days. The medical and vision forms must be completed by a physician familiar with the driver’s history.
