Form DL 8. Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Self-Certification - Virginia

Form DL 8. Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Self-Certification is used by commercial driver's license (CDL) holders in Virginia to record and/or change their self-certification category for the type of commercial motor vehicle operation they are engaged in. The purpose of this form is to comply with VA Code § 46.2-341.12(G), which requires CDL drivers to certify their commercial driving status.

The parties involved in this form are the CDL holders in Virginia and the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The form sections consist of personal information of the CDL holder, such as name, driver's license number, and the self-certification category they are selecting.

Important fields in this form include the CDL holder's identification information, the self-certification category they are choosing (e.g., Interstate, Intrastate Non-Excepted, Intrastate Excepted), and any required supporting documentation to verify the category selection. Accurate completion of this form is essential to ensure that CDL drivers comply with the required self-certification as per state regulations.

For example, a CDL holder who operates commercial motor vehicles only within the state of Virginia may use Form DL 8 to self-certify as "Intrastate Non-Excepted." By completing this form and selecting the appropriate self-certification category, the CDL holder remains in compliance with Virginia's CDL regulations.

No additional documents need to be filled out or completed for this form. As the CDL self-certification form, there are no related alternative forms for this specific purpose.
