Step 2: Return completed application with a check or money order made payable to PennDOT in the amount indicated on the form

Step 3: A camera card will be mailed, and you will receive it within 7 to 10 working days after the form is processed.

Step 4:Once you receive your camera card, you will need to take it, along with your Social Security card and appropriate identification to any Photo Center to have your photo taken and receive your new CDL.
