    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.

    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.

    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.
