Application and Renewal Process for Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers Changing January 30
Posted 24 January, 2012
Beginning
Jan. 30, 2012, the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) will
implement new federally required rules that change the way drivers
apply for or renew commercial driver’s licenses (CDL). The changes will
require drivers applying for or renewing their CDL to complete a form
declaring the type of commercial motor vehicle driving they intend to
perform. If that type falls within a certain category, the driver must
provide the Iowa DOT with a copy of his or her current Medical
Examiner’s Certificate, before being issued a CDL.
While the
new process begins Jan. 30, 2012, the federal compliance date for all
CDL holders is not until Jan. 30, 2014. Therefore:
- A
CDL holder whose driver’s license expires between Jan. 30, 2012, and
Jan. 30, 2014, can complete the required declaration form and submit a
copy of their Medical Examiner’s Certificate, if required, when their
CDL is renewed. These individuals will not need to make a special trip
to the Iowa DOT's driver’s license station or participating county
treasurer driver’s license issuance location to meet the requirements
of the new regulations.
- If
a CDL holder’s driver’s license does not expire until after Jan. 30,
2014, the licensee must go to an Iowa driver’s license station or
participating county treasurer driver’s license issuance location
before Jan. 30, 2014, to complete the required declaration form and
provide a copy of their current Medical Examiner’s Certificate, if
required.
A
CDL holder who fails to meet the new requirements prior to Jan. 30,
2014, will have their CDL downgraded to a noncommercial driver’s
license.
Because a Medical Examiner’s Certificate can expire
before a CDL, the Iowa DOT reminds drivers who are required to submit a
Medical Examiner’s Certificate to keep the most current certificate on
file at all times with the Iowa DOT.
Changes implemented by the Iowa DOT are required by 49 CFR §§ 383.71 and 383.73. Visit here
for more CDL-related information. Details on the location and hours of
Iowa’s driver’s license stations and participating county treasurer
offices is available here. |
