Driver Permit Commercial Class Code

Source of Definition: FMCSA; 49 CFR 383; ADD/94-#28

Source of Data: Driver permit application

Synonyms: Classified permit; CLP Class

The type of commercial or non-commercial vehicle that a licensed driver has been examined on and approved to operate subject to a permit. This field represents the highest level classification for a particular driver privilege type (i.e., commercial vs. non-commercial).

FOR NON-COMMERCIAL DRIVER LICENSES, each state assigns its own value. (Usage Note: State codes are usually one character long, however a few states use multiple character codes for some values).

FOR COMMERCIAL DRIVER LICENSES, the following codes are used:

Value	Description
A	Class "A" vehicles [49 CFR 383.91(a)(1)]
B	Class "B" vehicles [49 CFR 383.91(a)(2)]
C	Class "C" vehicles [49 CFR 383.91(a)(3)]
M	Class "M" vehicles - Motorcycles, Mopeds, Motor-driven Cycles (class M is being retired as a Commercial Class).

See Commercial Class Definition for the detailed definition and examples of the commercial class codes.

Usage Note: When not present, this is an indication that the driver never held a license or the information is no longer available.
