2014 Delaware Code
Title 21 - Motor Vehicles
CHAPTER 26. UNIFORM COMMERCIAL DRIVER LICENSE ACT
§ 2609. Non-domiciled CDL or CLP [Effective July 8, 2015]

(a) The Division of Motor Vehicles may issue a nonresident CDL to a resident of a foreign jurisdiction if the United States Secretary of Transportation has determined that the commercial motor vehicle testing and licensing standards in the foreign jurisdiction do not meet the testing standards established in 49 C.F.R. part 383. The word "nonresident" must appear on the face of the nonresident CDL. An applicant must surrender any nonresident CDL issued by another state. Prior to issuing a nonresident CDL, the Division of Motor Vehicles must establish the practical capability of revoking, suspending, or cancelling the nonresident CDL and disqualifying that person with the same conditions applicable to the commercial driver license issued to a resident of this State.

(b) Exceptions.

(1) If a CMV operator is not domiciled in a foreign jurisdiction which the Administrator has determined tests drivers and issues CDLs in accordance with, or under standards similar to the standards contained in subparts F, G, and H of 49 C.F.R Part 383, the person may obtain a nonresident CDL from a State which does comply with the testing and licensing standards contained in such Subparts F, G and H of 49 C.F.R. Part 383.

(2) If an individual is domiciled in a state while that state is prohibited from issuing CDLs in accordance with "49 C.F.R. § 384.405", that individual is eligible to obtain a nonresident CDL from any state that elects to issue a nonresident CDL and which complies with the testing and licensing standards contained in Subparts F, G, and H of 49 C.F.R. Part 383.
