You will have to apply first by either calling them at 1-877-HAZPRINTS or going to hazprints.com an filling out an application. I believe it is $86.50. You will then need to get fingerprints taken at one of their sites (you can find out where at the hazprint site) and after that, they will start your threat assessment. It will take about 6 to 8 weeks (mine took two) and if cleared, they will notify the DMV and may send you a letter. You are now ready to test. Be sure to check out the training at this site. It works.
