What Information Does the CDL Data Form Require?
The Nebraska CDL Data Form collects several categories of personal data. You will need to provide your full legal name, date of birth, social security number, current home address, height, weight, eye color, hair color, and race. The form also requests your current driver's license number and the state that issued it. All information must match your official identification documents.
Medical Certification Categories
The CDL application includes a medical certification section divided into four categories based on the nature of your commercial driving activity.
- Category A: Non-excepted interstate. Applies to drivers operating commercial vehicles across state lines.
- Category B: Excepted interstate. For drivers who operate in interstate commerce but only transport commodities listed as excepted under federal regulations.
- Category C: Non-excepted intrastate. For Nebraska drivers who only operate within the state and do not meet federal exemptions.
- Category D: Excepted intrastate. For intrastate drivers who qualify for an exemption from federal medical standards.
Your chosen category determines which medical certification documents you must submit. If you are unsure which category applies, contact your local Nebraska DMV office before completing the form.
