Medical Considerations
Sight
You must have 20/40 vision in at least one eye, with or without glasses, to qualify for an unrestricted license. You will be required to wear glasses or contacts if you wore them to pass your vision test.
Hearing
There are no driving restrictions.
Seizures
Unlike most states, Louisiana does not impose a seizure-free period before you can start or resume driving. Your physician's recommendation to the Office of Motor Vehicles carries the most weight in determining your driving status.
Aging Drivers
Drivers 70 years old and up cannot renew their licenses by mail; it must be done in person.
Reporting an Incompetent Driver
Complete a Report of Driver Condition or Behavior form and mail to:
- Office of Motor Vehicles
