TSA "No Security Threat Letter" for HazMat

I let my haz mat drop in 2007. I got it in 2006.

I renewed last month.

Fingerprinted on Monday. Letter received on Saturday. New license on Monday. Little over a week.

 

My initial one only took 2 weeks in 2006. Had my hazmat within 3 weeks.

They advised me mine was NOT active since I failed to renew it 6 months prior to the license renewal in March of 2008.

 

Mine only took two weeks. Been waiting 4 weeks for the hard copy of my new Class A drivers license. I called DMV two days ago. Seems it has to be released manually by the DMV because of the TSA and the hazmat endorsement. Sure wish I had known to call the DMV as soon as I had the letter informing me that I am not considered a terrorist threat by the good ole USA!

 

You can take the test anytime but before they will issue a license with the hazmat on it the clearance has to be approved.

I took my test when I first got my permit and then I had to start finding funding and a school.

You should not wait untill you need the endorsment to try and get it.

At that time there may be a huge back log because so many people will need it.

I did my fingerprints while everyone else was at the dmv getting there permit's then by the time school was over and I had my 3rd party cdl test results to get my license everything was back on the fingerprints.

 

It took six weeks for me to get the letter in the mail. Luckily, about a week after I did my prints, I had reason to be at the Motor Vehicle Department and wouldn't you know, they already had my clearance. I would suggest you call the state DMV.

 

That is because the dmv gets the info sent eletronicaly to them.

 

That's a bummer there Mountain Trucker.

I finally got the hard copy of my license in the mail yesterday! 4 weeks and 4 days from the date of the DMV test.
