I need to find out whether or not I qualify for a military skills test waiver.
I can help with that. Do you have military experience driving commercial vehicles?
Yes, I do.
Great. You can apply for a waiver of the NY state CDL skills road test when you apply for your CDL.
Where do I apply?
You can apply at your local DMV office. Be sure to bring all necessary documents when you go to apply.
What are the requirements for getting the waiver?
To qualify for a waiver, you must have a valid New York state driver license or a valid out of state driver license that can be exchanged for a New York driver license.
I was recently discharged from the military. Does that matter?
No. You can still qualify for the waiver.
What do I need to bring with me to DMV?
Aside from bringing your proof of military service, your driver license, and CDL waiver form, you will need to prove that you have operated a CMV for at least 2 years before the date you were discharged from the military.
