Not sure if this is the correct forums for this...
I received my Class-A 6 years ago and at that time I also obtained the Tank (N) & Double / Triple Trailer (T) endorsements. The process then was that I filled out the TSA background check form, went to one of the NM MVD (New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division - our version of other states DMV) offices that could process the application and took the written test, after the test I had to do the electronic fingerprint scanning. Waited about 2 weeks and received the letter in the mail that I was approved, took that down to my local MVD office and had the X endorsement added onto my CDL. I let it lapse in 2010 because I had just started working with a company that didn't require it.
Looking into picking up the endorsement again and I see the process has changed.
There's a website for the Department of Homeland Security / TSA where I can apparently pre-enroll myself and schedule an appointment for testing.
https://universalenroll.dhs.gov/
Not sure when that started up, but is that the new way to go through the process?
I went through most of the pre-enrollment and found that there's a single center in Albuquerque, NM (I'm in Belen, NM about 40 miles south of Abq) that handles TSA related business including HME (Hazardous Material Endorsement).
I'm guessing I can go there and do all my testing, fingerprinting, and whatnot....but again it's all new to me.
Anyone picked up their X or H endorsement recently that can maybe give me an idea of how it goes these days?
