From what I have read your hazmat endorsement is good for 2 years? So do you have to pay for a background check evey time you renew? And do you have to take a written test again?

If yes......does it take 6-8 weeks again to renew the endorsement? Or is it just paying a fee again like renewing your license?

I think you have to get fingerprinted and another background check and pay the fee again.

Yes you have to do the whole thing again every 2 years.
