Complete Hazmat ELDT Online — $20
DLA Academy's FMCSA-approved course. Your completion is automatically reported to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry so North Dakota DOT can verify before your test.

Visit your local North Dakota DOT driver license office. Bring your CDL, DOT medical card, proof of identity, and proof of North Dakota 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 North Dakota DOT office.
-
Receive Your H Endorsement
Once TSA clears your background and you pass the knowledge test, North Dakota DOT 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 gets your endorsement faster.
