Renewing Your CDL
Renewing your Louisiana CDL every year is a quick and easy process.
Once you receive your renewal notice in the mail, simply head to your local CDL Renewal Office and take:
- Your CDL Physical Exam Form
- Your current valid CDL
- Proof of liability insurance on your current personal vehicles
- The appropriate fees
Note that Louisiana doesn't allow online or mail renewals. Therefore, you can renew your CDL up to 180 days before it's due to expire.
Expired CDLs
If you allow your CDL to expire for more than 10 days, you'll be charged a $15 fee. However, being caught operating a commercial vehicle without a valid CDL is a serious crime that could result in the revocation of your CDL privileges.
Hazmat Endorsement Renewal
If you're seeking to keep your hazardous materials (hazmat) endorsement, you'll need to retest at the time of CDL renewal. This can be done at your local full service CDL Issuing Office.
