Commercial Driver License (CDL)

⚠️ Important Update ⚠️

Effective September 30, 2025, Florida has temporarily suspended the issuance of non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) and commercial learner’s permits (CLPs), also known as non-immigrant or temporary CDLs and CLPs.

Learn More About This Change

This action follows new federal requirements from the U.S. Department of Transportation and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to strengthen oversight of non-domiciled commercial licensing.

What This Means:

  • Non-domiciled CDL and CLP applications are temporarily paused until further notice.
  • Identification and Class E licenses are not affected and continue to be processed normally.
  • Additional information will be provided as it becomes available from federal authorities.

This pause ensures Florida remains in full compliance with enhanced federal transportation safety requirements.
