Virginia CDL Requirements — Quick Reference

To get any Commercial Driver's License in Virginia you'll work through Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (Virginia DMV). Federal ELDT requirements apply across all 49 states — DLA Academy's online theory courses satisfy the ELDT mandate, and behind-the-wheel training (where required for CDL A or CDL B) must be completed locally at an FMCSA-registered BTW provider.

For Hazmat endorsements, Virginia uses the standard IDEMIA TSA enrollment process — schedule your fingerprinting through Universal Enroll.

Virginia State Agency
Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (Virginia DMV)

Apply for your CLP, schedule skills tests, and verify ELDT submission through your state agency's CDL portal.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What CDL ELDT courses does DLA Academy offer for Virginia?+
Five individual ELDT courses: CDL-A Theory ELDT, CDL-B Theory ELDT, Hazmat ELDT (H endorsement), Passenger ELDT (P endorsement), and School Bus ELDT (S endorsement). Each individual course costs $20 and completes in under 2 hours. We also offer three bundles: the $45 CDL Complete Bundle (CDL-A ELDT + CDL-B ELDT + CDL-A Permit Prep, saves $10), the $50 3-Endorsement Bundle (Hazmat + Passenger + School Bus, saves $10), and the $30 Hazmat + DMV Test Prep Bundle (saves $5). All courses are FMCSA-approved and auto-submitted to the Training Provider Registry.
Do I need behind-the-wheel training after completing ELDT with DLA Academy?+
Yes. DLA Academy covers the online theory requirement. Behind-the-wheel (BTW) training is a separate step you'll arrange with a local FMCSA-registered BTW provider in Virginia. BTW is required before you can take the skills test at the Virginia DMV.
How do I know DLA Academy courses are accepted by the Virginia DMV?+
DLA Academy is FMCSA-approved and listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry. When you complete an ELDT course, we auto-submit your completion record to FMCSA within 24 hours. The Virginia DMV verifies your ELDT completion by checking the FMCSA registry — no separate submission to the DMV is needed. Your record is live within one business day.
Who needs ELDT in Virginia?+
Anyone applying for a new CDL (Class A or Class B) or a new endorsement (Hazmat, Passenger, School Bus) after February 7, 2022 must complete FMCSA-approved ELDT. If you earned your CDL before February 7, 2022, you're grandfathered — you don't retroactively need ELDT for that license. However, if you upgrade your class or add an endorsement after that date, you'll need ELDT for the new endorsement or class.
What happens after I get my CLP from the Virginia DMV — how long before I can test for skills?+
Virginia DMV holds your Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP) for 14 days before you're eligible to take the CDL skills test. During that 14-day window, you'll complete your behind-the-wheel training with a local provider. After the hold expires, you can schedule your skills test at the Virginia DMV.
