California DMV DL 939 – 10‑Year History Record Check Form

The DL 939 is the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) 10‑Year History Record Check form. It is required when you are applying for or renewing a commercial driver’s license (CDL) and need to disclose any driver’s licenses you have held in the past ten years, even if they were issued in a different name or state.

What Is the DL 939 Form?

Form DL 939 collects detailed information about your driving history, including:

• All driver’s licenses issued in the last ten years
• Names, dates of issue, and issuing jurisdictions
• Any suspensions, revocations, or restrictions

Providing accurate data helps the DMV verify your eligibility for a CDL and prevents delays in processing your application.
