If you have military commercial driving experience but not one of the specialties that qualify for the even exchange, New Mexico waives the skills test for your commercial driver license. You still have to take the knowledge test.
Send the Application for Military Skills Test Waiver, including certification by your commanding officer, by mail, fax or email to the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division, Commercial Driver License Unit, 2546 Camino Entrada, Santa Fe NM 87507, fax 505-476-1578, email NMCDL.HelpDesk@state.nm.us. For help, call 505-827-1036.
Your completed application with your commanding officer’s certification, and documentation that you have been licensed for at least two years on a military vehicle similar to the commercial class you want.
