Udok Adds Online Booking for PrDP Medical Exams in SA

In Short

Udok says it now offers PrDP medical examinations through a network of participating medical practices in South Africa.

The service combines online appointment booking with an in person medical exam, and drivers receive the completed medical certificate digitally after the exam.

Udok lists a base examination fee of R365.

What Happened: How Udok Handles PrDP Medical Certificates

Udok says professional drivers applying for or renewing a Professional Driving Permit, PrDP, must undergo a medical examination and obtain a medical fitness certificate from a registered medical practitioner under South African road traffic regulations.

Udok says its PrDP medical examination service is available through participating medical practices. Drivers can find a participating practice, book an available appointment online, and then complete the medical examination in person.

After the examination, Udok says drivers receive their completed medical certificate digitally. The certificate is issued on the prescribed government Form MC, and the examining practitioner determines whether the driver meets the necessary medical fitness requirements.

The company positions the service as a way to reduce the time and coordination required to arrange these exams, both for individual drivers and for logistics businesses managing fleets.

Why It Matters: Compliance And Fleet Admin Pressure

Udok says PrDP compliance is more than an administrative step for companies operating commercial vehicles, and links it to road safety, regulatory compliance, and maintaining an operational workforce.

For logistics and transport businesses, the post notes that tracking PrDP renewals, booking medical examination appointments, and handling drivers working across different regions can create administrative pressure.

Udok says its approach can help transport companies connect drivers with participating medical practices for PrDP examinations. It also notes the service applies across freight and logistics, courier and delivery services, public transport, commercial fleet operations, and dangerous goods transportation.

The post also states that South African regulations require the prescribed medical certificate to be completed no more than two months before the PrDP application.
