Hazmat Test with CLP? Or do I need CDL?

Question: Can I take the Hazmat endorsement and background check/fingerprints with only a Commercial Learner's Permit or do I need to wait until I have my Class A CDL in hand prior to taking the endorsement test at NYS DMV and getting fingerprinted?

I ask because I hear differing answers. The NYS DMV website says that:

"Acceptable identification documents for Hazmat and Fingerprinting includes:
Identification document must be valid and not expired.

• New York State Commercial Driver’s License
• Foreign passport
• Permanent Resident Card or Alien Registration Receipt Card (Form I-551)
• U.S. Passport

Not sure if the first point above includes the CLP or only a CDL. I'll be road testing for my Class A in January, but want to have all of my endorsements ASAP, prior to starting employment if possible.

Thanks everyone!
