How to Get a Hazmat Endorsement on Your Massachusetts CDL
Massachusetts follows the standard federal process for adding a Hazardous Materials (H) endorsement to your CDL:
-
Complete Hazmat ELDT Online — $20
DLA Academy's FMCSA-approved course. Your completion is automatically reported to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry so Massachusetts RMV can verify before your test.
-
Visit Your Local Massachusetts RMV Office
Visit your local Massachusetts RMV service center. Bring your CDL, DOT medical card, proof of identity, and proof of Massachusetts 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 TSA 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 Massachusetts RMV office.
-
Receive Your H Endorsement
Once TSA clears your background and you pass the knowledge test, Massachusetts RMV issues your updated CDL with the H endorsement.
💡 Pro Tip: Start your TSA background check at the same time you complete ELDT. TSA takes 2–6 weeks — running both at once is the fastest path to your endorsement.
