You have two options for renewing your CDL, please make sure you meet the requirements prior to starting the renewal process.
You'll need to renew at a driver licensing office if you:
- Are upgrading to a higher class, adding endorsements, removing restrictions.
- Are renewing with hazardous material endorsement (HME) (you must pass a knowledge test).
- Need to provide Lawful Permanent Residency or U.S. Citizenship documents.
- Need a self-certification change. Examples:
- A new medical status requires you to operate intrastate only.
- You're going from intrastate operation to interstate operation.
- Need to surrender your CDL or remove endorsements or restrictions.
Must have valid and up to date address.
Your home address is on your license, make sure it's updated. If needed, please change your address before you renew.
