Non-Domiciled Commercial Driver’s License

As of August 30, 2024, Senate Bill 95 became Law in the State of Alaska.  This bill allows in certain circumstances, the state to issue a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) or a Commercial Learners Permit (CLP) to an individual who is not domiciled within its jurisdiction. The word "Non-domiciled" must be prominently displayed on the CDL or CLP.

Non-domicile CDL means a CDL issued by a State under either of the following two conditions:

• To an individual domiciled in a foreign country, other than Mexico and Canada, if the person obtained the license from a State, which complies with the testing and licensing standards required for CDL drivers.
• To an individual domiciled in another State while that State is prohibited from issuing CDLs, if the person obtained the license from any State which elected to issue non-domiciled CDLs and which complies with the testing and licensing standards required for CDL drivers.

The applicant must also satisfy the requirements of Alaska Statute 28.33.100(a)(2)(B)-(D).
