| Renewing a Commercial Driver License (CDL) |
|
|
 |
|
|
As of October 1, 2004, DMV issues and renews licenses for 8 years only. Four (4) year mail-in renewals are no longer processed.
|
| Renewal Notice Reminders |
|
Renewal notice reminders are mailed to most CDL holders two months prior to expiration of the driver license. Renewal reminders for CDL holders with a HAZMAT endorsement will be mailed at least 90 days prior to the expiration date of the driver license to allow time to complete a TSA criminal background check. If you do not receive a renewal notice in the mail, you may still renew your CDL in person at a DMV office.

| How to Renew a CDL |
|
To renew your CDL, you must do so in person at a DMV office.
What to Expect at the DMV Office
- If you are 50 years old (or older) on the renewal date of your driver license, DMV will do a vision screening.
- Bring with you the DMV renewal notice and your current driver license as you will be required to present proof of age and identity.
- If your address has changed, you will be required to provide proof of address.
- If you have a Hazardous Material Endorsement on your CDL, you will have to pass a HAZMAT knowledge test and pay the testing fee and have paid for and passed a TSA criminal background check within the past year.
- Certify that you meet all Federal requirements.
- Present a valid medical certificate and, if indicated on the certificate, a valid waiver or exemption.
- Pay the renewal fee.
-
You will be issued an interim card to use until you receive your license in the mail.
