A non-domiciled individual is a person who does not have citizenship or lawful permanent resident status and includes holders of various visas, refugees and asylees, according to the DMV.<\/p>\n
Person hit, killed by train near Florin <\/a><\/p>\n The DMV said it found the CDLs were issued incorrectly. State law requires that the expiration date of a CDL must be on or before the expiration date of the legal presence documents provided to the DMV.<\/p>\n According to the DMV, those affected have already been notified that their licenses are set to be cancelled.<\/p>\n Federal law permits these individuals to obtain a CDL. The DMV said that all individuals issued non-domiciled CDLs by the DMV had been granted work authorization by the federal government and were legally present in the United States at the time their license was issued.<\/p>\n The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration blocked the DMV from attempting to issue corrected CDLs to affected drivers in a way that is consistent with state and federal law, the DMV said.<\/p>\n Additionally, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit denied an emergency stay that was also requested by DMV which would have allowed the state to reissue corrected non-domiciled CDLs to eligible individuals.<\/p>\n On March 2, the Alameda County Superior Court ruled that the DMV must allow those non-domiciled CDL holders who received a cancellation letter to reapply for a CDL following cancellation of their license.<\/p>\n However, the department is prevented from issuing non-domiciled CDLs until FMCSA lifts its mandated \u201cpause\u201d, the DMV stated. All applications will remain pending for a maximum of one year.<\/p>\n Impacted CDL holders who don\u2019t apply for a new CDL are required to apply for a regular, Class C driver\u2019s license to continue driving their regular vehicles. Those affected who want to apply for a CDL will be required to pay a non-refundable application fee and be issued a temporary non-commercial, Class C driver\u2019s license.<\/p>\n The DMV said it will offer priority appointments for people impacted and encourages applicants to visit its website<\/a> or call 916-306-5135 before visiting an office.<\/p>\n Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.
