Veterans and military driver laws in all states

In the United States, active and retired members of the military are highly valued. Because of their dedicated service, most states provide benefits to active-duty members of the military and veterans.

In addition to those who are actively serving in the armed forces, it is important that family members of military personnel are aware of the laws and benefits provided. These benefits may include:

• Driver's license fee waiver
• Exemption from registration fees and license taxes during deployment
• Military badges of various units
• Veteran license plates for free

Although each state establishes its own benefits for military personnel, one notable benefit is provided throughout the country. Since 2011, it has become easier for military personnel to obtain a commercial driver's license. With two years of qualifying driving experience and within one year of being fired, commercial training permit applicants may skip the skills test normally required to obtain a license, although a written test is still required.

In addition, CDL applicants can more easily obtain their license, even if they are out of state, thanks to the Military Commercial Driver's License Act of 2012.

Regardless of where you live or are stationed, each state provides military benefits. You can find state laws for veterans and military drivers here:
