          **PLEASE READ**: Adding Driver’s Licenses to the Update Process

As part of our efforts to address fraudulent activity, we have implemented a new requirement for updating a company’s registration record. **Effective immediately, customers are required to submit a copy of their driver's license along with theirMCS-150/150B/150C,MCSA-5889 Forms. The driver's license mustbelong to a company officer, such as the owner, director, or partner (i.e., whoever is listed on #30 of the MCS-150 or #36 of the MCS-150B)**. This additional verification step helps safeguard your data and ensures the accuracy of your account information. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your cooperation.

Why Not Online?

The following are printable Registration forms can only be used for updates to existing registrations or authorities, or for application for additional registrations.

Notice for Sole Proprietors

**Sole proprietor owner/operator** are strongly encouraged to obtain an EIN rather than using an SSN to register for operating authority.
	If a **sole proprietor owner/operator** submits personal information for registration purposes to obtain a USDOT number or operating authority, this information will be publicly available on FMCSA websites. This published information may include, but is not limited to, the sole proprietor owner/operator's home address, telephone number and email address when the contact information serves as the business contact information.
