🚑 California Ambulance Driver’s License

To drive an ambulance in California, you need to obtain a DL 61. Before heading to the DMV, there are a few things you’ll need to take care of:

  • Complete a DOT physical (DL-51): This includes your Medical Examination Report Form (MCSA-5875) and the Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MCSA-5876). These two forms are done at your physical.

  • Get a DMV Live Scan: The specific form you’ll need depends on your location. You will need to submit a completed request for Live Scan service application (DMV 8016)

  • Study for the written test: This will be taken at the DMV. It’s highly recommended to read the Ambulance Driver handbook and take some online practice tests beforehand.

  • Bring ID and residency documents: You may be asked to show a government-issued ID and provide two proofs of residency. It’s better to be safe than sorry in this situation, as many of you are aware this process can take several hours.
