COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S LICENSE (CDL) RENEWAL

Renewing your Iowa CDL

There are two ways to renew your CDL: online or in-person.

Online renewal checkmark

If you meet the eligibility requirements, you may renew your CDL online and skip a trip to the driver's license issuance location. You will need your current CDL card and a credit or debit card to complete the process. Fees will include your renewal fee plus a $1.50 online processing fee.

In-person renewal checkmark

You can renew your CDL at any one of Iowa's 100 issuance sites. Schedule an appointment or contact your county treasurer. If you certify to the “nonexcepted interstate” category you must provide a copy of your Medical Examiner’s Certificate when you renew.
