In the step below, fill out all the information from your class D license even though it is asking for your CLP/CDL information. It is normal that you do not have a CLP/CDL at this point, but the system must confirm that you do not hold any CLP/CDL’s from the past. Simply fill out the information from your class D license and allow the system to “Fail Verification.”
If you do hold a CLP/CDL, enter that information and verify.
- STEP 24: Click “Verify.” (It is normal for this verification to “fail.”)
It will ask you to try one more time just to be sure, but it is normal for this step to “fail” since you do not hold a CLP/CDL yet.
- STEP 25: Click “Verify” again. (It is normal for this verification to “fail.”)
- STEP 26: Click “Next.”
Scroll to the very bottom of the “Terms and Conditions.”
- STEP 27: Check the box to affirm.
