Top Appear in Person

If you already have a Utah commercial driver license (CDL), renewing it with the Driver License Division of the Utah Department of Public Safety is in some ways a little like applying for a new one (without all the training and testing, of course).

According to federal regulations, you must appear in person at a driver license field office and fill out a renewal application form with your updated information every time you renew your CDL. You also need to pay a $40 fee. You may also be asked to get a new medical exam. Unfortunately, you may not renew your license by mail or online.

Top Endorsements

If you wish to add endorsements to your license, you will need to complete the required training and take the appropriate endorsement tests when you apply for your renewal. Endorsement tests are $7 each; check with your driver license field office to see whether you need to make an appointment for the test.

Top Hazardous Materials

Just as hazardous materials get special treatment, so does the hazardous materials endorsement for your CDL. If you have a hazardous materials endorsement (or if you wish to add one), you will need to take the Hazardous Materials test and undergo a background check every time you renew.
