Renewing Your CDL

After the lengthy process of obtaining an initial Florida CDL, renewing is actually quite simple in comparison. You must apply in person at your local driver license office, and bring in your expired or close-to-expiring license. Unfortunately, CDLs may not be renewed online or by phone or mail.
You'll be required to take the vision test again, and should pass with at least a 20/40 in each eye, with or without corrective lenses, to be eligible to renew.
Hazardous Materials Endorsement
If you have a CDL with an H or X endorsement, you'll also need to take and pass the hazardous materials knowledge test. This is a requirement each time you renew.
Finally, you'll need to undergo another background check, just like you did when you first applied. Begin at least 30 days before your license's expiration date to allow for test processing time. All licenses with HAZMAT endorsements are valid for four years, and you can renew the license up to one year before it expires.
Renewal Fees
CDL renewal costs $50, plus $5 for each added endorsement. If you're renewing a HAZMAT endorsement, a fee of $91 for the background check will also be required.
