Hazmat ELDT & California DMV Requirements

To obtain your Hazardous Materials Endorsement (H) on your California CDL:

  1. Complete a FMCSA-approved Hazmat ELDT course — this federal training is required before you take the knowledge test at the DMV.

  2. Visit a California DMV office to take the Hazmat knowledge exam.

  3. Pass the TSA background check (fingerprints + clearance).

  4. Receive your Hazmat endorsement once training and TSA requirements are satisfied.

The California DMV follows the federal ELDT requirements — so your training must be from an FMCSA-approved provider before you test. (Like Us)
