CDL CERTIFICATION FOR MILITARY WAIVER OF SKILLS TEST

Governor LePage Announces Details of Bills Aimed at Honoring our Veterans

Effective immediately, a qualified veteran who is, or who has been regularly employed in a military position within the last 90 days, can obtain a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) by completing a waiver certification form and taking the written skills test. The driving test will be waived if:

• If discharged, the military employment was within the last 90 days
• For a period of at least 2 years, the veteran operated a commercial vehicle of the same class and type as the CDL license they are applying for
• For this 2 year period, the veteran has not had their license suspended, revoked, or cancelled
• The veteran does not hold a license in another jurisdiction (excludes a military license)
• The veteran has not had any convictions disqualifying them from the waiver, or has not exceeded 1 conviction for certain convictions (refer to the CDL Certification for Military Waiver of Skills Test form for list of convictions)
