Visit your local Colorado DMV office. Bring your CDL, DOT medical card, proof of identity, and proof of Colorado residency.
-
Complete TSA Fingerprinting and Background Check
Apply for your TSA Security Threat Assessment online or at a TSA enrollment center. Allow 2–6 weeks for processing.
-
Pass the HazMat Knowledge Test
30 questions, 80% passing score required. Covers federal hazmat regulations, placarding, shipping papers, classification, and emergency response. Administered at your Colorado DMV office.
-
Receive Your H Endorsement
Once TSA clears your background and you pass the knowledge test, Colorado DMV issues your updated CDL with the H endorsement.
