The annual Unified Carrier Registration filing required of every motor carrier operating in interstate commerce — handled start to finish.
Applications are processed first-come, first-served. An expedited option is available at checkout for priority processing.
Any entity operating CMVs in interstate commerce. One registration covers all vehicles under a single USDOT number for the full calendar year.
Six fee brackets based on the number of qualifying commercial motor vehicles per the carrier’s most recent MCS-150 filing with the FMCSA.
UCR compliance is checked at roadside stops. Non-compliance results in fines and penalties. The UCR Certificate provides supplemental documentation.
UCR is the Unified Carrier Registration program, created by the UCR Act of 2005 (49 U.S.C. § 14504a). It requires motor carriers, freight forwarders, brokers, and leasing companies engaged in interstate commerce to register annually with their base state and pay a fee based on fleet size.
The 2027 registration period is open now. Filing early secures a spot and avoids processing delays that typically occur during the high-volume October–December period.
Online or by phone — both result in the same active UCR registration for the 2027 calendar year.
