Under this situation, how long is that background check good for before you have to go back and do it again (the prints)? I did mine, paid the money and added the endorsement even though I ended up not taking the job I needed it for. I figured I paid the money I might as well add it.

Q: How often must a driver be fingerprinted and qualified under this rule?
A: Generally, you must renew your HME every five years, although some states may require more frequent reviews. You will be required to submit new fingerprints at the time of renewal of the endorsement.
