To anyone who might be thinking of adding the HazMat endorsement to their CDL…I just went through the background check and fingerprinting to get my endorsement back (I let it go a few years ago but need it again).
The fingerprint location informed me it would be two to four weeks before getting a notification.
It took three days, not including the weekend.
Just an FYI.

That's what they told me when I applied for my TWIC card too. (Same DHS/FBI background check as the Hazmat). I wasn't back on the road more than a day or two when I got the notification that everything passed and my card was being issued.FullMetalJacket, Friend and 48Packard Thank this.

Mine came back the next day lol.
48Packard Thanks this. -
My fingerprints came back 4hrs after I walked out the door after getting them done. Went to the dmv the next morning to take the test.
48Packard Thanks this. -
I did the same had my Hazmat since 2008 let it go
In 24. I redid the background this past spring. Which is when I guess they’re busy. Took almost 2 months for the background. So if you’re getting it back fast then you’re lucky. -
My TWIC card took 2 months for some reason. Even though they do the same exact background check for hazmat and TWIC.Radman Thanks this.
