Difficulty of transferring CDL to a new state

[madii'swife]

We're looking at possibly moving back into Oklahoma at some point, and were wondering how hard or what we need to be prepared for in transferring my husband's CDL. I tried searching for an easy explanation online but didn't get anywhere. Thanks!

When I moved to Georgia, all I had to do was go in and pay the fee to transfer, I also had to take the hazmat test again.

Just be ready to provide all the documentation Oklahoma requires for an out-of-state conversion. Check the state's motor vehicle department website, but I'd assume you'd need to provide:

The current CDL
A valid medical card
A social security card
Proofs of residency, which can include a copy of your lease or mortage, and copies of mail such as bank statements.

The only thing you need to be prepared for is to take the hazmat test again and possibly undergo another background check.

Other than that it should only be a matter of applying for a liscence in your new state.

you dont need a medical card to get a license. you only need it to drive

There are some states that are requiring a valid med card before they will issue a CDL. I do not know about Oklahoma, but the advice of checking what documentation any given state requires is vaild, including if they require a current med certificate.

in TN if you don't have your valid medical card with you when you have a cdl then you don't have a license.. you can't do anything at dmv without having your valid medical card with you. also in TN as of 10-18-06 you need to bring your birth certificate to take the has-mat test.

Yes, the first thing they asked from me was my medical card at the Tennessee Dept of Safety.

But tn is not yet requiring the background check so I guess there are no terrorists there.

Well at least none of them here are driving trucks.

But I did hear the Nashville Int'l Airport was shut down the other day.

Yea, a Swift driver was going down the runway looking for a Pilot.

Oldest joke in the book...

All states were required to do background check on Hazmat licenses since May 5, 2003. See: http://development04.teamster.org/re...sFAQs_0205.pdf

When I renewed my CDL and did my Hazmat test and all that today, I had to show my "medical card".....or lose the license. I live in FL.

When I moved to oklahoma from another state oh not even 2yrs ago
All I did was go down pay the money and had to drop my hazmat.
Didn't have the money nor was I driveing at that point.
Nothing else was needed.

Although I do know if you are doing the hazmat part and you have not had that before or let it drop.
Fingerprings *can be done in okc at flying J*
hazmat test
to get endorcement must have
letter that can take up to 30 days to get from fingerprints
photo id and a certified copy of birth certificate.
