-
Complete TSA Fingerprinting and Background Check
New York DMV conducts the TSA fingerprinting and background check application at their offices. 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 New York DMV office.

Receive Your H Endorsement
Once TSA clears your background and you pass the knowledge test, New York DMV issues your updated CDL with the H endorsement.
⚠️ New York Note: New York is one of several states where the HazMat endorsement application and fingerprinting must be done at a New York DMV office — not at a separate TSA enrollment center. Check your application status with the New York DMV directly.
💡 Pro Tip: Complete your ELDT online and then visit your New York DMV office to complete the application and fingerprinting. The earlier you go, the sooner you get your endorsement.
