How to Get a Hazmat Endorsement on Your Montana CDL

Montana follows the standard federal process for adding a Hazardous Materials (H) endorsement to your CDL:

  1. Complete Hazmat ELDT Online — $20 DLA Academy's FMCSA-approved course. Your completion is automatically reported to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry so Montana MVD can verify before your test.
  2. Visit Your Local Montana MVD Office Visit your local Montana MVD office. Bring your CDL, DOT medical card, proof of identity, and proof of Montana residency.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 Montana MVD office.
  5. Receive Your H Endorsement Once TSA clears your background and you pass the knowledge test, Montana MVD 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 simultaneously gets your endorsement faster.
