How do I get a hazardous materials endorsement (HazMat)?
You must first have a CDL to apply for the HazMat endorsement.

Read the CDL CDL-10 Handbook, the CDL-11 Hazardous Materials Handbook pdf and the Driver's License Class Descriptions pdf MV-500C for more information.

How will I know if my application has been approved or not?
We will send you an approval notice along with instructions to go to a DMV office to obtain a CDL backed by HazMat. Your new CDL will display the expiration date of your CDL and the expiration date of your HazMat endorsement. The endorsement is valid for five years.
What do I need to do to start background checks?
The rules require that the applicant be fingerprinted and that their U.S. citizenship or permanent legal presence in the United States be verified.You must answer 80% or more of the questions correctly to pass the exam. You can take the exam as many times as necessary until you pass the exam
