Commercial License Permits

If items on the form are missing or incomplete, additional information will be requested from you. Your medical examiner must initial and date all changes.

Note: Any request for restrictions to be added must be done at an MVD CDL office. A duplicate license fee will apply.

If you do not submit the requested information in a timely manner, your CDL privilege will be suspended, revoked or both. If your license becomes suspended, revoked or both, the requested information can be faxed to 602.239.6288 or emailed to [email protected]. You will be required to visit an MVD CDL office to reinstate your license and pay any applicable fees.

If your suspension, revocation or both are for not submitting a current DOT Medical Examination Report, you may submit it by fax to 602.239.6288 or by email. If your DOT Medical Examination Report is dated after the due date, you will be required to visit an MVD CDL office to reinstate your driving privilege.

Only Arizona transporter plates are recognized for the movement of the mobile home. If the transporter does not have Arizona transporter plates for the home, a 30-day general-use registration must be purchased to make this move. The cost of this permit is $15.
