    Not in all states. California hazmat is good for 5 years. No letter required. TSA notifies DMV directly.

    CDLs w/o a Haz-Mat endorsements are normally issued for 5 years and require not retesting.

    CDLs w/ a Haz-Mat endorsements are only issued for 2 years, require a new TSA check, and most states require retesting for the Haz-Mat endorsement.

    TWIC cards are issued for 5 years or less depending on a persons credential status. The expiration date is right on the face of the card.

    "Self Certification" is required of all CDL holder prior to Jan. 31st, 2014.
    ~ If you drive Interstate you will be required to present a valid DOT Medical Card to your state DMV and every time the medical card expires.
    ~ If you drive Intrastate you will not be required to carry a DOT Medical Card.
