Do hazmat requirements differ by state?

The core requirements are federal and identical everywhere — ELDT theory training, a TSA Security Threat Assessment, and a state knowledge test. What varies is the licensing agency name, office locations, the test and endorsement fees, and local procedures. A few states also add their own rules, such as Texas issuing the IdentoGO service code only after you apply in person.

Is DLA Academy hazmat ELDT accepted in my state?

Yes in the 49 states we serve. Washington is not served. Completions are submitted to the FMCSA Training Provider Registry within 24 hours and your state verifies the record there directly.

How long does the hazmat endorsement take?

Six to ten weeks. ELDT theory is under 2 hours and is submitted within 24 hours. The TSA background check takes 4 to 8 weeks and is the only real bottleneck, so book fingerprinting the same day you finish ELDT.

How do I check that a provider is registered in my state?

Search the provider name at tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov. The registry is national, not per-state, so one check covers every state. If a provider is not listed, your state will not accept the completion. Through 2026 FMCSA removed thousands of providers, so check before you pay.

Pro Tip — Save Weeks

Book your TSA fingerprinting the same day you complete ELDT. The background check takes 4–8 weeks and runs independently of your knowledge test, so starting both at once is the single biggest time-saver. One exception: Texas is an agent state — DPS issues the IdentoGO service code only after you apply in person, so the order matters there. Texas details →
