Missouri DOR Announces Change In CDL Certification Requirement Procedure

The Missouri Department of Revenue feels a change being made will make it more convenient for Commercial Driver License holders to fulfill certification requirements.

The Department of Revenue is now allowing otherwise eligible Commercial Driver License (CDL) holders to submit their self-certification and updated medical examiner certificate by email or fax to license offices for processing. This change not only helps CDL holders but it is also expected to reduce the number of customers waiting in lines at the State’s contract license offices.

Previously, CDL holders had been required to submit their self-certification and updated medical examiner certificates in person at a license office to maintain a valid CDL privilege. This step often required truck drivers to take time off work or risk getting stalled roadside-perhaps even in another state-due to certificate expirations.
