Visit your local Ohio BMV deputy registrar office. Bring your CDL, DOT medical card, proof of identity, and proof of Ohio 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 Ohio BMV office.
-
Receive Your H Endorsement
Once TSA clears your background and you pass the knowledge test, Ohio BMV issues your updated CDL with the H endorsement.

Ohio Hazmat ELDT — FAQ
Is DLA Academy's course accepted by Ohio BMV?
Yes — our course is listed on the FMCSA Training Provider Registry, which Ohio BMV uses to verify ELDT completion. It is accepted statewide in Ohio.
Do I need ELDT even if I already have a Ohio CDL?
Yes. ELDT is required for any CDL driver adding a first-time Hazmat (H) endorsement, regardless of how long you have held your CDL.
How long does the Hazmat ELDT course take?
Most drivers complete it in under 2 hours. There's no time limit — you can pause and resume at any time on any device.
When does my completion get reported to FMCSA?
Automatically within 24 hours of completing the course. Ohio BMV can verify your ELDT status through the FMCSA Training Provider Registry before your knowledge test.
