Can I drive if I’ve been diagnosed with epilepsy?

In the U.S., each state has its own driving rules. People with epilepsy are required to report their condition to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). However, states differ about the identity of the person who has to report. Some states require the healthcare provider report the person. Other states ask the person with epilepsy or seizures to sign a simple form at the time of application for a license or license renewal. On the form, the person states that they’ll notify the DMV of changes in their health status or driving ability.

Ask your healthcare provider if you can drive. Generally, you shouldn’t drive until your seizures are under control.
