About the Virginia CDL exam
The Virginia CDL exam is administered by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. Like every state, Virginia adopts the federal standards as a baseline and adds state-specific requirements, fees, and procedures.
- Exam / licence fee: approximately $64 for 8 years.
- Skills testing: Virginia DMV customer service centers.
- Virginia offers an extended 8-year CDL license validity period, among the longest in the US, with a correspondingly higher one-time fee.
