HAZMAT Endorsement Threat Assessment Program
The application procedures to acquire, transfer, or renew a CDL under the TSA security threat assessment procedure is very straight forward. The procedure consists of the following checks:
TSA granted all states and the District of Columbia the option to use the TSA Agent (HAZPRINT) to collect your biographical information, fingerprints, and fees or to do so by their own process.
TSA Agent States | ||
Alabama | Illinois | North Carolina |
Alaska | Louisiana | North Dakota |
Arizona | Maine | Ohio |
Arkansas | Massachusetts | Oklahoma |
California | Michigan | Oregon |
Colorado | Minnesota | Rhode Island |
Connecticut | Missouri | South Dakota |
Delaware | Montana | Utah |
District of Columbia | Nebraska | Washington |
Georgia | Nevada | West Virginia |
Hawaii | New Hampshire | Wyoming |

If you are applying for an HME on a CDL from any of the states above you can apply online at www.hazprints.com, or contact a customer service representative at (877) 429-7746 to fill out the application over the telephone. You will be informed of fingerprint locations. At the fingerprint site, you are required to review and sign the application; submit fingerprints; and provide payment in the amount of $94.00. TSA generally receives this information the next business day. TSA's goal is to mail the results of the assessment to you and inform your licensing state within 30 days after receiving your application and fingerprints.
If your state was not listed above as a TSA Agent State, TSA advises you visit your local DMV for application and fingerprinting information.
Renewals and Extensions: Generally, you must renew your HME every five years, although some states may require more frequent reviews. If you have completed a security threat assessment before and you are transferring your HME to a new state, you do not have to go through a new threat assessment for the transfer if your new state can issue you an HME that expires within five years of your last assessment.
