Alright so here i am James K! Thanks for posting your out of state license post which sure helped me obtain my Ohio state CDL without a written test. Unfortunately, they DID NOT transfer my hazmat endorsement from MARYLAND and told me that i will have to carry out the whole process (fingerprinting/backgroundcheck/fees) all over again! BUT! When you arrive at a BMV in OH state they DO NOT ACCEPT your apartment/home lease as a proof of residence keep that in mind folks! The easiest,cheapest and best way is to transfer your out of state title to OH state which costs 18.50 plus the inspection (inspection comprises of ONLY vin number verification and has to match the title of your vehicle) that costs a mere 3.50! The transfer of my CDL cost me about 47.00 dollars with my endorsements being transferred along ,i.e, tanker and doubles and triples! And the location i went to was the same as you suggested me so with out any second thoughts i went to the alum creek location and had my CDL transferred in one plain trip to the BMV! Thanks again for the useful info James K and keep up the good work!

Not a problem and here to help. I didn't think anything of it for the hazmat because I had it in NV and when i switched to PA for a short time they didn't allow you to transfer so i dropped, plus im not actively driving or planning to drive Hazmat so i said the hell with it. But i don't think many states allow you to transfer the Hazmat and they will essentially make you start all over.

But I am glad you got everything taken care of.

James
