What is the validity period of a commercial permit in Arizona?

In Arizona, a commercial permit is valid for a period of 6 months. This timeframe allows individuals sufficient opportunity to complete the necessary training and practice required to obtain their commercial driver's license (CDL). The 6-month validity period is structured to ensure that permit holders do not prolong the process unduly and remain current with their driving skills and knowledge of commercial vehicle regulations. Once the 6 months have elapsed, the permit must be renewed if the holder has not yet obtained their CDL, emphasizing the importance of progressing in the training and testing process within this specified duration.
