·         CDL RENEWAL / FINGERPRINTING

Commercial Driver License Holders with Hazardous Materials Endorsement

Effective January 31, 2005, the Illinois Secretary of State will begin implementing the new federally mandated fingerprinting and background check requirement for obtaining a Hazardous Materials Endorsement established by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Commercial Driver License (CDL) holders applying for a first time (new) Hazardous Materials Endorsement will be required to submit to a fingerprint background records check prior to issuance of the Hazardous Materials Endorsement.

Effective May 31, 2005, all CDL holders presently holding a Hazardous Materials Endorsement will be required to submit to a fingerprint background records check prior to renewing their CDL with a Hazardous Materials Endorsement. If a CDL applicant with a Hazardous Material Endorsement is renewing AFTER the EXPIRATION DATE of the CDL the Hazardous Material Endorsement CANNOT BE RETAINED until the results of the background records check are received from TSA.

Effective July 27th 2006, "IDENTIX" will be the only approved vendor for an Illinois CDL driver to obtain the appropriate fingerprint background check in order to receive a Hazardous Material Endorsement.

In an effort to assist and expedite the renewal process, we recommend that you do the following:

    • Schedule an appointment with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), approved vendor "IDENTIX".
    • Call IDENTIX at 1-800-377-2080, or schedule an appointment on-line at www.iisfingerprint.com.
    • IDENTIX will work with you and TSA to expedite your "TSA Threat Assessment" process.
    • Once approved, you will be notified to visit an Illinois Secretary of State CDL facility to obtain your CDL license with a "Hazardous Material" endorsement

ADVISORY NOTICE
Important: The Secretary of State's Office will not issue a Hazardous Materials Endorsement to your CDL until the results of your background records check are successfully completed by T.S.A. and the Secretary of State is notified. Upon notification from TSA, the Secretary of State's Office will notify you in order for you to return to a CDL Facility for issuance of a Hazardous Materials Endorsement.
