Finish DLA Academy's FMCSA-approved Hazmat theory course online. Takes under 2 hours on any device. Your results are auto-submitted to the FMCSA TPR within 24 hours.
Book your TSA Hazmat background check appointment through IdentoGO immediately after completing ELDT. Don't wait — the background check takes 4–8 weeks and runs independently of your DMV test.
Once your ELDT is confirmed in the FMCSA TPR, visit your state DMV to take the Hazmat knowledge test. Your state verifies ELDT status automatically before scheduling your test.
Once TSA approves your background check and you pass the knowledge test, your state DMV issues the Hazmat (H) endorsement on your CDL. Total timeline: 6–10 weeks.
