Providing ELDT? Registration is Required.
Why do training providers need to register?
Providers must register with FMCSA and self-certify they meet applicable Federal and State training requirements. Registering your company and location(s) is necessary to appear in the Training Provider Registry and to submit driver training certification information as required by the ELDT regulations. States must verify that certification information has been submitted to the Registry before allowing the driver to take the required CDL skills or knowledge test.
Only training providers register in the Training Provider Registry.
Read below for more information on the ELDT requirements training providers must meet to be eligible to register with FMCSA.

Quick Tips
-
Why do I need to receive a security code?
Login.gov uses two factors to authenticate that you are who you say you are. To do this, you will need to provide a way for Login.gov to send you a one-time security code. This can be done over SMS (text message) or a phone call, or using an authorization application. Backup codes are also available but should only be used if you have no other options, as they can only be used a limited number of times.
