After Step 5

If Your Wyoming CDL Has Already Been Downgraded

What changes automatically—and which separate record conditions still matter.

If You Kept Your Wyoming CDL

Commercial privilege is automatically restored when the NOT PROHIBITED message is applied, assuming you remain otherwise eligible. No new credential is required solely because of DACH restoration.

If You Surrendered Your CDL

A new CDL credential is required, and the applicable new-license fee applies.

Medical Certificate

A current Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MEC) must be on file when applicable.

More Than Two Years?

If the DACH downgrade lasted more than two years, or the CDL expired more than two years ago, all applicable CDL knowledge and skills testing is required.

How Quickly Does Wyoming Update?

WYDOT reports receiving real-time DACH data through AAMVA. This does not promise that the FMCSA transmission itself is instantaneous.

Will Wyoming Notify You?

No separate restoration notification is currently sent. Use the WYDOT customer portal to verify status.

Transparent pricing

▸ DOT SAP Evaluation Package: $475 with code SAVE50 (regular price $525)

▸ Included: Initial SAP evaluation, follow-up SAP evaluation, required SAP reports, and applicable Clearinghouse updates

▸ Education or treatment: Separate

Why is education or treatment separate?

DOT requires the SAP to determine the appropriate education or treatment individually after the initial evaluation. Because the recommendation must be based on the individual’s circumstances, the type, provider, and cost cannot be known in advance. DOT rules also generally require the SAP to remain financially independent from any provider receiving the referral.

Important: A compliant SAP should not promise a predetermined education or treatment requirement before completing the initial evaluation.

Regulatory basis: 49 CFR §40.293 and §40.299.

▸ Return-to-Duty test: Separate; referrals to trusted C/TPAs are available if you are not employed
