Any driver, regardless of the vehicle Class, who wants to haul hazardous materials, must add an “H” endorsement to their CDL. In order to obtain the Hazmat endorsement drivers are required to pass a Transportation Security Administration background check and a knowledge test. The Kansas hazmat test consists of 30 questions. To pass, you must correctly answer at least 24 questions (80%). The KS CDL hazmat test covers the information found in the Kansas CDL Manual.

Frequently Asked Questions
To obtain an instructional permit in Kansas, the minimum age is 14 years old. Upon reaching the age of 15, individuals who have held an instruction permit for one year become eligible for a restricted driver license. An unrestricted driver license can be obtained from the age of 17.
You can schedule an appointment online at Kansas Department of Revenue’s website. Find the nearest Kansas driver license office and check available dates. Alternatively, you can complete the test online using KnowTo Drive, the official online driver exam platform.

After passing the test, you have to visit a DMV office to validate your identity and obtain the instruction permit.
You need to present specific documents:
- One proof of lawful presence (such as a birth certificate, passport, certificate of naturalization, etc.). Also, provide evidence of your actual legal name if it has been changed.
- Social Security Card (if you are a foreign student or a foreign employee without work authorization, SSN verification is not required).
- Two proofs of current Kansas residential address (such as a utility bill, bank statement, insurance documents, etc.).
- Certificate of driver education completion (if applicable).
You can print this checklist to ensure you have all the necessary documents.
The online DMV written test is provided in English and Spanish. It is advisable to have a basic understanding of English since traffic signs are always in English. If you have visual or hearing impairments, you can indicate it when scheduling your appointment.

- Cell phone use is forbidden, except for emergency calls, for drivers under 17.
Driver license (class C)
