FMCSA REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS - Property
In addition to filing the appropriate form in the OP-1 series, all applicants for motor carrier, forwarder, and broker authorities must have specific insurance and legal process agent documents on file before the FMCSA will issue the actual authorities. The required filings vary, based on the types of registrations involved. Below is a list of pre-registration forms, followed by an explanation of which types of registrants are subject to filing those forms. Liability and cargo insurance forms must be submitted directly by the home office of the insurance company furnishing the coverage. The FMCSA does not furnish copies of insurance forms.

Applicants should be prepared to contact their agents to request filing of the required forms immediately after obtaining their designated docket number. These filings must be received within 90 days after the FMCSA has published public notice of intention to register the applicant. (Applicants will be notified by letter of their docket number and date of publication in the FMCSA Register.) Applicants are cautioned to ensure that the name and address of the business as set out in all pre-registration filings matches exactly the information provided in their Form OP-1 filings.
Any deviation will result in rejection of the supplemental pre-registration filings.
All insurance/process agent filings should be mailed directly to the FMCSA, Commercial Enforcement Division, MC-ECC, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE W63-105, Washington, DC 20590. Information on the status of insurance filings may be obtained quickly by dialing 1-866-637-0635. This automated response system is accessible at all times.
Applicants for authority to operate as motor carriers of household goods or freight forwarders of household goods also must offer arbitration as a means of settling loss and damage disputes on collect-on-delivery shipments. (See 49 U.S.C. 14708.)
Failure to comply promptly with all pre-registration requirements will result in dismissal of the application. Refunds of filing fees are not permitted.
REMINDERS: After obtaining their registration documents, applicants must register with every state through which they will travel in conducting business. To begin this process, applicants should contact the state transportation body (usually located in the capital city) in which the business is headquartered. Copies of the FMCSA and appropriate State registration documents must be carried in each vehicle performing FMCSA authorized operations.
