Missouri Hazmat Endorsement Process — Step by Step
1
Complete Hazmat ELDT Online — $20
Complete DLA Academy's FMCSA-approved Hazmat theory course online in under 2 hours on any device. Your completion is automatically submitted to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry within 24 hours — no extra steps required.
2
Schedule TSA Fingerprinting at a UES Enrollment Center
Book your TSA Hazmat background check at uenroll.identogo.com or call (855) 347-8371. Start this immediately after completing ELDT — the background check takes 4–8 weeks and runs independently of your DMV test.
3
Pass the Hazmat Knowledge Test at Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR)
Once your ELDT is confirmed in the FMCSA TPR, visit Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) to take the Hazmat knowledge test. Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) verifies your ELDT status automatically through the TPR.
4
TSA Background Check Clears
The TSA reviews your background check and fingerprints — takes 4–8 weeks. The knowledge test and TSA check run simultaneously so you don't need to wait for TSA before testing at the DMV.
5
Receive Your Missouri Hazmat Endorsement
Once you pass the knowledge test and TSA approves your background check, Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) issues the Hazmat (H) endorsement on your Missouri CDL. Total timeline: 6–10 weeks from ELDT completion.
Pro Tip — Save Weeks
Start TSA Fingerprinting the Same Day as ELDT
The moment you finish your Hazmat ELDT, visit uenroll.identogo.com and book your fingerprinting appointment. Running both simultaneously cuts the total timeline by 4–8 weeks.
