Eligible commercial driver’s license holders can now renew online up to 120 days before their license expires.

Last Tuesday, as part of Governor Gavin Newsom’s commitment to making state services more effective and efficient, the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) today launched online renewal for commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs). 

This secure, paperless option allows eligible commercial drivers to renew up to 120 days before their license expires—without needing to visit a DMV office. It also offers added convenience and reflects the DMV’s broader effort to modernize services by expanding the range of tasks that can be completed on the DMV website.

“Our commercial drivers keep California’s economy moving,” said DMV Director Steve Gordon. “This new online renewal service is another step in making DMV services faster, easier and available without a trip to the office.”

The new online CDL renewal service is part of the Newsom Administration’s digital transformation for efficient government through innovation and technology. Key benefits are:

• It’s secure: Customer information is protected and safe.
• It’s convenient: CDL holders can choose from various payment methods and complete their transactions on their mobile device, desktop or tablet.
• It’s paperless: Customers can upload required documents, such as Transportation Security Administration (TSA) clearance and medical exam records.
• It fits busy schedules: CDL holders can renew up to 120 days before their license expires.

Before going to an office, try online first!!

The DMV has taken many steps to expand digital services. Most DMV tasks do not require an office visit, including simple self-service transactions that are no longer available in offices. 

Customers should use DMV online services and other service channels to complete transactions, including eligible driver’s license and vehicle registration renewals. They can also use the Service Advisor on the DMV website to explore their options to complete DMV tasks. 

To sign up for paperless vehicle registration and driver’s license renewal notices, customers must opt in. To register and create a secure online account, click here.
