Fill Out Your Kentucky Cdl Self Certification Form

The Federal Motor Carriers Safety Regulations require all CDL holders to self‐certify as to what type driving he/she performs or expects to perform.

While FMCSA only requires medical certification for drivers operating in non‐excepted, interstate operations, Kentucky requires all CDL holders to be medically certified (601 KAR 1:005) regardless of category selected.

There are four categories from which to choose; please select only one.

Non‐excepted interstate‐I certify that I operate or expect to operate in Kentucky and other states (interstate commerce).

Excepted interstate‐I certify that I operate or expect to operate in Kentucky and other states (interstate commerce) but, engage exclusively in transportation or operations excepted under 49 CFR 390.3(f), 391.2, 391.68, or 398.3 from all or parts of the qualification requirements of 49 CFR part 391

Non‐excepted intrastate‐I certify that I operate or expect to operate in Kentucky only (intrastate commerce). (This category requires a “K” restriction to be printed on your

CDL/permit.)

Excepted intrastate‐I certify that I operate or expect to operate in Kentucky only (intrastate commerce) but, engage in transportation or operations excepted from all or parts of the State driver qualifications requirements. (This category requires a “K” restriction be printed on your CDL/permit.)

NOTE: All Kentucky CDL applicants/holders must be medically certified. Therefore, no CDL holder/applicant is excepted intrastate and should never mark this category.
