Hazardous Materials Endorsement
In order to comply with the threat assessment measures required by the U.S.A. Patriot Act, all individuals who hold a commercial driver license with a hazardous materials endorsement must have their fingerprints recorded.
If you do not currently hold a hazardous materials endorsement, you will need to complete the threat assessment before the endorsement can be issued to you. If you currently hold a hazardous materials endorsement and you are renewing your commercial driver's license, you will need to complete a new threat assessment.
If you are moving to Indiana from another state and have a hazardous material endorsement on your out-of-state commercial driver's license, you may need to complete a new threat assessment. The threat assessment approval must cover the validity period of your new Indiana commercial driver's license or be expired for less than six months. Any Indiana license branch can determine if your current threat assessment needs to be updated.
The threat assessment approval is valid for a period of five years. More information on the threat assessment is available on the Transportation Security Administration's website.
Fingerprinting Service Locations
The Bureau of Motor Vehicles no longer offers fingerprinting services at any Indiana license branch. Instead, all hazardous materials endorsement applications and fingerprinting services will be coordinated by L1 Enrollment Services, an agent of the Transportation Security Administration.
Indiana drivers can apply for a hazardous materials endorsement online at https://hazprints.tsa.dhs.gov/ or by contacting the L1 Driver Contact Center at 1-877-429-7746. You must complete the application before being fingerprinted. Once you have been approved for the hazardous materials endorsement, you may visit a license branch to complete your renewal process.
