How to Obtain Your Medical Certificate

To get your medical certificate, you'll need to be examined by an FAA-authorized Aviation Medical Examiner (AME).

Here's The Simple Steps:

  1. Complete the initial application through MedXPress.
  2. Book an appointment with a local FAA-designated Aviation Medical Examiner (AME).
  3. If you have any medical conditions or are on medication, contact the AME office to find out what documents or records to bring to your appointment.
  4. During your appointment, the AME will finish your medical exam and complete the rest of the FAA application. If you meet the health requirements, the AME will provide your medical certificate.
