As much a the Tennessee Valley has grown I really would think that more of the DMV offices would offer other services. There is a brand new DMV building in Hartselle AL. But yet I still have to drive all the way to Huntsville just to get my CDL MVR. Why does none of the other offices offer this service, if they do which ones? In northern AL

A) You’re right, it can be frustrating when a nearby DMV office doesn’t offer the services you need. Here’s what I found about CDL MVRs (Motor Vehicle Report) in northern Alabama:

• Limited Availability: Unfortunately, not all DMV offices are equipped to handle CDL services, including issuing MVRs. It seems obtaining a CDL MVR in northern Alabama often requires a trip to a designated Driver License Test Center.
• Huntsville Driver License Test Center: This location (7262 Governors West, Huntsville) appears to be the primary option for CDL MVRs in the area, based on information from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) (https://www.alea.gov/node/1).
• Limited Online Options: Currently, Alabama doesn’t seem to offer online access to CDL MVRs. However, you can check the Alabama Department of Revenue’s website (https://www.revenue.alabama.gov/division/motor-vehicle/) for updates on online services.

Here are some suggestions that might help:

• Contact Madison County License Department: While they might not directly offer CDL MVRs, they could clarify if any other locations in the area handle them. You can find their contact information on the Madison County website (https://www.madisoncountyal.gov/departments/license-department).
• Consider ALEA Website: The ALEA website (https://www.alea.gov/node/1) has a driver license office search tool. You can filter by county to see if any other offices near you offer CDL services in the future.

Hopefully, this information helps! It’s understandable that you’d expect more DMV offices to offer these services, and hopefully, that will change in the future.
