New Jersey CDL Hazmat — What to Expect
In New Jersey, the CDL Hazmat (H) endorsement is issued by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC). New Jersey licensing is handled by the Motor Vehicle Commission; the Hazmat knowledge test is taken at an MVC agency while the TSA screening is federal via IdentoGO.
The knowledge test has 30 questions and requires an 80% passing score — at least 24 correct. The exam is based on the federal FMCSA regulations under 49 CFR, which are the same in all 50 states, so the study material does not change from state to state.
Before the H endorsement can be added to your New Jersey CDL, you must pass a TSA Security Threat Assessment (background check), about $86.50, at an authorized enrollment center — processing takes 2–4 weeks, so apply early.
Endorsement fee: Varies — confirm with the New Jersey MVC. Retake wait: Varies by office.
