Because it takes so long to get the temporary endorsement and due to the fact that I need this temporary HazMat endorsement urgently, is there anything I can do in the meantime?
As I have just mentioned, we are unable to provide you with a temporary HazMat endorsement before background checks are completed
What is the exact waiting time for background checks to be completed when waiting for a temporary HazMat endorsement?
Usually, background checks take 30 days from the date that your fingerprints were submitted. It can happen, however, that this may take longer than 30 days
