| Commerical Driver's License (CDL) Disqualifications Your commercial driver’s license (CDL) can be disqualified as a result of your conviction in Maryland District Court of certain violations that meet the criteria for CDL disqualification established by federal and state laws. Your commercial driver’s license (CDL) can also be disqualified before conviction if you receive a citation from a law enforcement officer for having a high blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level while driving a commercial vehicle. If your commercial driver’s license (CDL) is disqualified, you cannot legally operate a commercial vehicle. What should I do if I receive a notice of CDL disqualification? Complete and return the notice of CDL disqualification to the MVA Administrative Adjudication Division (AAD) within 15 days. On the back of the form, be sure to indicate how you plan to respond to the disqualification notice:
Note that you may be able to exchange your surrendered CDL for a non-commercial driver's license that will allow you to continue driving your personal vehicle. What happens next? If you submit a request for a hearing, the Maryland Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) will notify you about your hearing date. If you waive your right to a hearing, you must wait until the end of the disqualification period specified on your notice before requesting a new CDL. To obtain a non-commercial driver’s license during the disqualification period, go to any full service MVA branch office where you must first surrender your CDL. Fees:
