A CAP Form 75 (CAP Motor Vehicle Operator ID Card) is required to operate any Civil Air Patrol-owned vehicle.  Not having a CAPF 75 does not restrict you from using a privately-owned vehicle for official CAP business, but is important to have, even if your unit does not have a CAP vehicle.  A CAPF 75 is valid for three years following the date of issue.

Sample CAPF 75:

• Completely fill in sections C and E only (do not handwrite)
• Sign (blue ink preferred) and date form in section E.  Put your charter number next to "Civil Air Patrol" in this section.
• Send the form to (do not send it directly to PENNDOT):
  Pennsylvania Wing Civil Air Patrol
  ATTN: LGT
  Building 3-108
  Fort Indiantown Gap
  Annville, PA 17003

Cards will be mailed to the unit mailing address so unit commanders may approve them, since there is no approval on the PENNDOT form. It is ultimately the unit commander's responsibility to make sure we have capable people driving CAP vehicles.

• Your membership must be current.
• New members must be in "Permenent" status, meaning your fingerprints are processed by NHQ.  If you are not sure if your "Permenent" membership has been approved, call Member Services at 1-877-227-9142.
• Level I and CPPT must show on your e-Services record.
• Forms cannot be handwritten. PENNDOT is not allowing handwritten forms.
• You must send an original form signed in ink. We cannot send in faxes or photocopies. It is preferred that the signature is in blue ink so PENNDOT can see it is not a copy.
• You must have a Pennsylvania drivers license to use the PENNDOT form. Out of state drivers have to get a certified record from thier home state sent to Wing HQ.
• Your form must have all of the requested information in blocks C and E.
• You can not use whiteout on the forms. PENNDOT will not accept them, as they think it was changed by somebody along the way.
• Forms must be sent to Wing Headquarters.  They must NOT be sent directly to PENNDOT. PENNDOT will not process them, and they will be upset with the Wing if sent to them directly.
• Only fill in blocks C and E of the form. Do not write notes on forms, in the margins, or in other blocks.
• Drivers between the ages of 18 and 21 may only drive small CAP vehicles (7 passenger or less capacity), and may not have any passengers.
