To obtain a Hazmat endorsement on your Commercial Driver's License (CDL), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires all applicants to undergo a background check. This process ensures that individuals handling hazardous materials are vetted for safety and security purposes. The background check includes a review of your criminal history, legal status, and other security-related factors.
The TSA background check involves fingerprinting and a security threat assessment. During this process, the TSA will review your criminal history, legal status, and other relevant databases to ensure you meet the eligibility criteria for a Hazmat endorsement. There is a non-refundable fee for the background check, and it typically takes 30 to 45 days to receive the results.
We recommend starting the TSA background check before or while you're taking our hazmat course. Since the background check can take up to 45 days to process, getting a head start will ensure there are no delays in obtaining your Hazmat endorsement once you complete your training.

Don't forget to bring the required identification documents and payment for the background check fee
