Step 4 – Insurance
This step can begin any time after an applicant receives its MC or FF Number as described in Step 2 above
and is not dependent on Step 3 being completed. An Insurance Company must file the appropriate insurance
form(s) on behalf of the applicant within 90 days of the date the application for Operating Authority was
published in the FMCSA Register. Otherwise, the application for Operating Authority will be dismissed and
the application fee will not be refunded. The applicant will receive a warning letter about the 90-day deadline
if FMCSA has not received the required documentation within 20 days.
NOTE:
Applicants may not file insurance forms on their own behalf. Therefore, FMCSA does not provide
insurance forms to applicants.
An authorized representative from the home or branch office of an Insurance Company must file
the required insurance form(s) on the applicant’s behalf.
To minimize processing delays, FMCSA recommends filing forms electronically.
It is the applicant’s responsibility to follow up with the Insurance Company to verify that FMCSA has
received and approved the required insurance form(s).
Failure to promptly submit required forms and documentation will delay application processing and
can result in dismissal of the application and loss of the application fee.
Check the status of insurance filings by either accessing the FMCSA Web site (see
“Information
Sources” (Topic VI) in this packet for instructions) or calling FMCSA toll-free at 1-866-637-0635 or
202-385-2423 (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. e.s.t.).
Depending upon the type(s) of Operating Authority requested, one or more of the following forms must be
filed with FMCSA by an Insurance Company or financial institution:
Form BMC-91 or BMC-91X for proof of bodily injury and property damage (BI & PD) insurance
Form BMC-34 for proof of cargo liability insurance
Form BMC-84 for broker surety bond
Form BMC-85 for broker trust fund agreement
For specific guidance about which form(s) FMCSA requires, see
“Section III – Insurance
Information” under
“How to Complete the OP-1 Application for Motor Property Carrier and Broker
Authority” (Topic V) in this
packet. Also, see 49 CFR Part 387 for more details. To view this information, go to the FMCSA Web site at

Self Insurance
Motor Carriers, U.S.-based Enterprise Carriers, and Freight Forwarders may qualify as a self-insurer against
bodily injury, property damage, and cargo liability claims, by submitting Form BMC-40 (Application for
Authority to Self-Insure) and evidence to the FMCSA to demonstrate the existence of the following:
Adequate tangible net worth that will cover any liability claims in the event of a loss
Sound self-insurance program
Adequate safety program
FMCSA will approve an application to self-insure subject to appropriate and reasonable conditions. For
more details about self insurance, see 49 CFR § 387.309 and § 387.411.
