Contact the place that issued it to you. They should be able to make you a copy.

Does your company have a copy?
I’ve only worked for two carriers but I think both made copies of my card for their records.Another Canadian driver and Bean Jr. Thank this. -
4 options I can see.
1. Get a saved copy (from work, home records, etc.)
2. Find your current card.
3. Get a new physical.
4. Don't worry about it, it's not needed legally any longer for CDL drivers.Another Canadian driver, RubyEagle, Bean Jr. and 2 others Thank this. -

You have to tie it in to your driver license so it's no longer needed. Cops around the country have access to it.
But if you really want a copy. You're supposed to give it to company so they have it on record. Ask them to email you a copy. Not need to call the clinic.
And if the cop wants to see it. Tell him it's in the database. I haven't been asked for it in years.Last edited: Oct 19, 2020
