Hey there, i'm looking to renew a commercial driving license. Could you guide me a little on that?
Sure, no problem. Before proceeding, let me tell you won't be able to use your standard commercial license to go on board of a domestic flight after October 1 ,2020.
In any case, are you planning to go traveling soon? Do you have Passport?
Yes, i'm planning to travel but in fact, i don't have passports available.
Well, to avoid issues in that matter, we would recommend you to upgrade your CDL to an Enhanced or Real ID when you renew.
================
You know, that would be pretty convenient. I'll think about it. Look, i already gathered some requirements, Will i need something else?
In fact, you'll need to do something else. You need to meet the federal medical certification requirements. Besides, you need to have proof of your legal presence in the U.S.
================
O.k, o.k, i'll write that down right away. See, i would like to talk about some renewal fees, specifically on those for the class H or X.
For those classes you must pass the hazardous materials knowledge test at a DMV office. That would be within 2 years before your renewal, paying an additional fee of $5 for the test.
That fee would be a standard for everyone?
Sorry, but no. The following counties residents must pay an additional supplemental Metropolitan Commuter Transportation District fee: Bronx, Kings, Brooklyn, New York, Manhattan, Queens. That fee would be $1.00 for every 6 months the permit or driver license will be in effect.
================
What about if i'm a temporary visitor?
You'll need to provide a proof of legal residence in the U.S.
