Arizona CDL Requirements — Quick Reference

To get any Commercial Driver's License in Arizona you'll work through Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (AZ MVD). Federal ELDT requirements apply across all 49 states — DLA Academy's online theory courses satisfy the ELDT mandate, and behind-the-wheel training (where required for CDL A or CDL B) must be completed locally at an FMCSA-registered BTW provider.

For Hazmat endorsements, Arizona uses the standard IDEMIA TSA enrollment process — schedule your fingerprinting through Universal Enroll.

Arizona State Agency
Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (AZ MVD)

Apply for your CLP, schedule skills tests, and verify ELDT submission through your state agency's CDL portal.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is ELDT and why do I need it in Arizona?+
Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) is a federal requirement under FMCSA rules. All CDL applicants in Arizona must complete FMCSA-approved ELDT before taking the skills test — unless they held a valid CDL before February 7, 2022 (grandfathered). Even grandfathered drivers need ELDT for any new endorsement (H, P, S) or class upgrade. DLA Academy's courses meet the FMCSA standard and auto-submit your completion to the Training Provider Registry within 24 hours.
How long does each course take to complete?+
Each individual ELDT course (CDL-A, CDL-B, Hazmat, Passenger, School Bus) completes in under 2 hours. You can do it on your own schedule, online, from anywhere with an internet connection. No classroom, no appointments.
What is the difference between ELDT and the DMV permit test?+
ELDT is federal training required by the FMCSA; the DMV permit test is Arizona's knowledge test for your Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP). You need both. DLA Academy's CDL-A Theory ELDT ($20) covers the federal requirement. CDL-A Permit Prep ($15) is a study tool with 119 practice questions to help you pass Arizona's DMV knowledge test. They're separate products that complement each other but don't replace one another.
Do I need behind-the-wheel (BTW) training?+
Yes, if you're getting a CDL-A or CDL-B. DLA Academy provides the online theory component (ELDT). BTW must be completed separately at a local FMCSA-registered training provider in Arizona. Hazmat, Passenger, and School Bus endorsements do not require BTW — only theory ELDT. After you finish both ELDT and BTW, you're ready to test with the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (AZ MVD).
How does the Hazmat endorsement process work in Arizona?+
Hazmat ELDT is the first step (online, $20, under 2 hours). Next, you apply to the AZ MVD for a CLP with the H endorsement. The TSA then requires fingerprinting through IDEMIA Universal Enroll — you'll enroll, get fingerprinted at an IDEMIA location, and pass the TSA check. Once cleared, you take the Hazmat knowledge test at the AZ MVD, then schedule your Hazmat skills test. DLA Academy's Hazmat ELDT covers the training; we auto-submit to TPR, but the TSA and AZ MVD steps are separate.
