Before you apply or renew

These steps apply regardless of state. Verify each requirement directly with the Missouri Department of Revenue — Driver License Bureau before beginning the application process.

  • Verify your CDL class (A, B, or C) matches the vehicles you intend to operate.
  • Check whether you need endorsements (HazMat, Tanker, Passenger, School Bus, Doubles/Triples) and confirm state testing requirements for each.
  • Confirm you hold a valid DOT medical certificate (MCSA-5876) and that it is current before applying or renewing.
  • If you are a new CDL applicant, confirm whether ELDT (Entry-Level Driver Training) applies to your situation — see the ELDT overview.
  • Gather required documents — identity, residency, and any existing license — before visiting a testing location.
  • Confirm current fees and testing appointment availability directly with the Missouri Department of Revenue — Driver License Bureau.

Medical certificate

CDL holders operating in interstate commerce must carry a current DOT medical certificate issued by a certified medical examiner on the FMCSA National Registry. Missouri state requirements for submitting or updating medical certification vary — check the Missouri Department of Revenue — Driver License Bureau website for the current procedure.

ELDT — Entry-Level Driver Training

Federal ELDT requirements apply to new Class A and Class B CDL applicants and to certain endorsements. Training must be completed at a provider listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry (TPR). The Missouri Department of Revenue — Driver License Bureau does not administer ELDT — training is completed at a registered provider before you schedule the skills test.
