Hi, I'd like to know if I can get a temporary HazMat endorsement before the background checks are completed?
No. We cannot issue the HazMat endorsement until the background checks are completed and approved.
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.
