Arizona CDL Requirements

Essential requirements to get your CDL license

Yes. The ADOT Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) issues CDLs to 18-year-olds for intrastate use. You must be 21 for interstate operation.

Yes. You must hold a valid Arizona Class D operator license. The MVD requires you to have held a license for at least one year.

Yes. You must obtain a medical certificate from a registered medical examiner and submit it to the Arizona MVD to validate your commercial privileges.

After getting your permit, you must pass the 3 skills tests: Pre-Trip Inspection, Basic Controls (Reverse), and the Road Test. Tests are often done by Third Party Testers authorized by MVD.

DUI convictions (in personal or commercial vehicles), refusing a drug test, or leaving an accident scene will lead to disqualification. Your record is checked via the national database.

*Requirements based on Arizona MVD regulations as of 2026.
