How to apply
Have a licensed physician (or in most states a nurse practitioner, PA, or optometrist for vision) complete the medical-certification section of the Idaho application, then submit it in person, by mail, or online to the motor-vehicle agency. A permanent placard hangs from the mirror and moves with you between vehicles — you don't need to own the car. Also see our Idaho registration fees.
