I. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Overview
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) registration process requires that companies define the type of
business operation (Motor Carrier, Broker, Shipper, Freight Forwarder and/or Cargo Tank Facility) that they plan to establish.
FMCSA’s responsibilities include monitoring and enforcing compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
(FMCSR) and the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) governing both safety and financial responsibility. The Agency’s
focus on both concerns is reflected in the dual path of its current registration process. Companies may find that they are
subject to both registration requirements—USDOT Number (Forms MCS-150 and MCS-150B)—and Interstate
Operating Authority (Forms OP-1, OP-1(P), OP-1(FF), OP-1(MX), or OP-2).
FMCSA encourages all applicants with Internet access to use our online registration assistant
( ) to determine all FMCSA registration requirements. For applicants without
Internet access, FMCSA can mail instructions, forms, and other materials designed to assist in the off-line registration process;
call FMCSA at 1-800-832-5660.
These instructions assume that the applicant has determined that a USDOT Number is required and that the MCS-150 form
must be submitted.
II. Filing Options
There are two options for filing the necessary forms to obtain a USDOT Number:
•
Completing and filing the required MCS-150 forms online, or

FMCSA strongly encourages applicants to use the electronic online application process since it has built-in edit
