Commercial Driver's License Overview

Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) requirements are stricter than any other Indiana driver's license and are based upon stringent Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. Individuals who hold an Indiana CDL are permitted to operate the following vehicles:

• Commercial motor vehicles or combinations of vehicles with declared gross vehicle weight ratings in excess of 26,000 pounds
• Vehicles designed to transport 16 or more people, including the driver; and vehicles used to transport hazardous materials.

For information on a non-domiciled CDL, please see the below section below.

Obtaining a Commercial Driver's License

Knowledge and Skills Examinations

To obtain a CDL in Indiana, you must pass a knowledge exam and a CDL skills exam in a vehicle representative of the class of CDL you will receive. The CDL skills exam must be taken at a BMV-authorized examination site and consists of a pre-trip inspection exam, a basic control skills exam and the road trip exam. Authorized examination sites electronically transmit the skills exam results to the BMV to increase security and accuracy.

The Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP), all knowledge exams, and CDL skills exams are valid for 180 days. Renewal of a CLP may require retaking the knowledge exam.

Medical Examination

When applying for your first CDL or CLP in Indiana, you must provide a valid Medical Examination Report (MER) and Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MEC). To maintain a valid CLP or CDL, you must provide a valid MER and MEC prior to the expiration of your current MER and MEC on file with the BMV.

Is your medical examiner certified to administer a CDL medical examination? The BMV only accepts the MER and MEC if completed by a medical examiner certified by the FMCSA National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners.

For information on the FMCSA National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners, visit the National Registry of Certified Medical Examiners Rules and Regulations.

As of April 2016, the current FMCSA-approved MER Form, MCSA-5875 and MEC Form, MCSA-5876 provided to you by the FMCSA Certified Medical Examiner must be provided to the BMV for updating your medical status. Failure to provide these documents will result in the medical status of “Not Certified” and the downgrade of any CLP or CDL to base license privileges only.

Indiana applicants must provide both the MER and MEC.

Use one of the following options to submit the completed MER and MEC:

• Fax to 317-974-1613
• Submit document to any BMV branch
• Mail to:
  Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles
  Attn: CDL Programs
  100 North Senate Avenue, IGCN, Room N 481
  Indianapolis, IN 46204

If you have questions regarding your MER and MEC or want to know the status of your forms, view your Driver Record using your myBMV account or contact the BMV at 888-692-6841.

Truck Driver Training Schools

The BMV coordinates the licensing and oversight of all truck driver training schools and instructors.

For information and questions regarding truck driver training schools and instructor licensing please contact the CDL Programs department by email at BMVCDL@bmv.in.gov.

Non-Domiciled CDL

If you are applying for a non-domiciled CDL, all qualifications for a CDL apply and you must provide an unexpired employment authorization document. A non-domiciled CDL may be issued to an individual who has certain lawful temporary status. You do not qualify for a non-domiciled CDL if you are from Mexico or Canada.

Transferring a CDL From Out of State

The BMV will conduct a driver record search using the Commercial Driver’s License Information System (CDLIS) for all license holders transferring to Indiana from another state. If your CDLIS Pointer (Driver History) from your prior state of record is not available, or your CDLIS Pointer is incomplete, there will be a delay in processing your application for a license in the State of Indiana.

The BMV will contact the licensing officials in the state(s) where the license was previously held to complete this process. When the BMV has received the required information, the applicant will be contacted by the BMV to return to the license branch to complete processing.

You must meet all requirements to transfer a driver’s license and pass the general knowledge written exams to transfer a CDL to Indiana. If you have a hazardous materials endorsement on your current CDL, you will be required to pass that knowledge exam and have acceptable threat assessment approval to be issued the endorsement on an Indiana license.

Renewing or Replacing a CDL

A CDL issued in Indiana is valid for four years. You may renew your CDL at any BMV branch up to one year before the license expires.

To replace a lost or stolen CDL, you can visit any BMV branch and present certain documents of identification.

You can also replace your CDL online if your name and address has remained the same since the last time you received your CDL.

You will need to provide your date of birth and Social Security number in order to renew or replace your CDL online.

Re-Applying For a CDL

If you voluntarily surrender or relinquish your CDL and would like to re-apply for commercial driving privileges after one year, you must obtain a Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP), pass all necessary knowledge exams and CDL skills exams, and provide a valid MER and MEC (unless these are already on file with the BMV).

Military CDL Skills Examination Waiver Program

The BMV may waive the required CDL skills exam for select veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces with specific drive training, and for those who were truck drivers during their military service, when they apply for an Indiana CDL after issuance of a CLP.

Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) FEES

Your commercial driver's license (CDL) expires on your birthday and a late fee will be charged if the license is renewed after that date. If your birthday falls on a day when BMV branches are closed, such as a Sunday or a Monday, your license will remain valid until the end of the next business day.

Endorsements and Restrictions

Hazardous Materials Endorsement

In order to comply with the threat assessment measures required by the U.S.A. Patriot Act, all individuals who hold a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with a hazardous materials endorsement must have their fingerprints recorded.

If you do not currently hold or need to renew a hazardous materials endorsement, you will need to complete the threat assessment and pass the hazardous materials knowledge examination before the endorsement can be issued or reissued to you. If you are moving to Indiana from another state and have a hazardous material endorsement on your out-of-state CDL, you may need to complete a new threat assessment and pass the hazardous materials knowledge examination. The threat assessment approval is valid for five years. More information on the threat assessment is available on the Transportation Security Administration's website.

Fingerprinting Service Locations

Fingerprinting services are not available at Bureau of Motor Vehicles license branches. Instead, all hazardous materials endorsement applications and fingerprinting services are conducted at TSA-approved enrollment centers

Indiana drivers can apply for a hazardous materials endorsement online https://universalenroll.dhs.gov/#hme-home or by contacting the Enrollment Center at 855-347-8371. You must complete the application before being fingerprinted. Once you have been approved for the hazardous materials endorsement, you may visit a license branch to complete your renewal process.

Enrollment centers strictly enforce the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) HME Threat Assessment Program’s identity and citizenship/immigration documentation requirements. The name the applicant provides at enrollment must match what is on his or her documents unless there is a court-ordered document that links the different names. Please note that the common combinations of (1) driver’s license and (2) Social Security card or DOT medical card are no longer a valid combination of items to bring for enrollment. Many drivers have been through the TSA security threat assessment before and may not be aware of the new document requirements. Please review the requirements before visiting a site to be fingerprinted.

Types of Commercial Driver's License Endorsements

The following endorsements apply only to individuals with commercial driver's licenses:

• Endorsement H – Hazardous materials
  The driver is allowed to transport any material that has been designated as hazardous under 49 U.S.C. 5103 and is required to be placarded under sub-§ F of 49 CFR § 172 or any quantity of a material listed as a select agent or toxin in 42 CFR §73.
