Form OP-1 - Application for Motor Property Carrier and Broker Authority
…………………………………... 14
I. Overview of Operating Authority
Depending upon the type of business operation (Motor Carrier, Broker, Freight Forwarder, Shipper, Vehicle
Registrant, and/or Cargo Tank Facility) and what will be transported (property, hazardous materials, and/or
passengers), companies may be required to register for both Interstate Operating Authority (Form OP-1
series or Form OP-2) and USDOT Number (Form MCS-150 series). The Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA) enforces compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs)
and the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMRs), which govern safety and financial responsibility.
FMCSA’s registration requirements reflect the focus on both of these concerns.
FMCSA encourages all applicants with Internet access to use the online registration assistant at
in order to determine FMCSA’s registration requirements.
Applicants without Internet access can call FMCSA at 1-800-832-5660 for assistance.
Who Needs Operating Authority?
Before beginning interstate operations in the United States (U.S.), all authorized for-hire Motor Carriers of
non-exempt property and passengers, Brokers, and Freight Forwarders based in the U.S. or Canada must
obtain Operating Authority by submitting the appropriate form(s) in the OP-1 series. For a description of the
different types of OP-1 forms and the various FMCSA requirements for obtaining Operating Authority, please
see
“What Are the Steps in Getting Operating
Authority?” (Topic IV) in this packet.
NOTE:
•
Hawaii-based Motor Carriers that transport household goods, property or passengers within a terminal
area (see 49 U.S.C. § 13504) must obtain Operating Authority. Carriers that operate solely within the
State of Hawaii and do not transport household goods are not required to obtain Operating Authority.
•
Mexico-based Motor Carriers should refer to
(Spanish) or
(English) for more information.
In addition to Operating Authority, some Motor Carriers of property or passengers must obtain a USDOT
Number before beginning interstate operations. Please consult “What Forms Do I Need to Complete?” at
which specifies the required forms for both Operating Authority and
USDOT Number.
II. How to Apply
Applications may be submitted online or mailed to FMCSA. Compared to mailing, the online method reduces
processing time by as much as 2-3 weeks, thus enabling companies to begin their operations sooner.
Remember, operations cannot begin until the certificate, permit, or license for Operating Authority
has been received. For more information, see
“What Are the Steps in Getting Operating
Authority?” (Topic
IV) in this packet.
