Non-Domiciled CDL

Renewal

As of January 20, 2026, and in conjunction with FMCSA's annual review of Utah's CDL Program, Utah is pausing the issuance of non-domiciled CDLs until further notice.

Renewal Period

You can renew your Utah Non-Domiciled CDL license up to six months prior to its expiration.

Renew Online

Non-Domiciled CDL license holders are not eligible to renew online.

Address Change

Must appear in person to obtain a new license within 30 days of moving.

Testing

  • If your non-domiciled commercial driver license has been expired for more than six months, you will be required to take all CDL written knowledge and driving skills tests to renew.
  • If you have had more than four citations in five years, you will be required to take a regular Class D 25-question open-book test.
  • The written knowledge test for school bus (S) and hazardous materials (H) endorsements must be completed at each renewal of the license.

STEPS

  1. Gather Your Documents For Your Non-Domiciled CDL Renewal:

    • Current Utah non-domiciled CDL.
    • If you are an active duty military service member, your non-domiciled CDL will expire 90 days after discharge.  Discharge documentation is required when renewing.
    • Bring proof of lawful presence, I-94 admittance document:
      • H-2A;
      • H-2B; or
      • E-2
    • Bring your unexpired foreign passport to provide proof of identity.
    • Address verification (2) if you have moved from your last known address on file.  Visit our Required Documents page for what is acceptable proof.

  4. When Do I Get My Non-Domiciled CDL?

    • A temporary non-domiciled CDL will be issued on the same day.
    • The completed non-domiciled commercial driver license will be mailed to you in approximately 4-6 weeks and will have an expiration date of the "admit until date" or one year, whichever is sooner; not to exceed one year on the non-domiciled CDL license.
    • If you renew before your 21st birthday, the non-domiciled CDL will be labeled minor.  The system will not label it adult until the day of or after your 21st birthday.
    5. Attention: By law, you may not possess more than one REAL ID-compliant certificate at a time (e.g., a Utah license and a Colorado ID.)
