Address changes
A new physical or mailing address is usually a straightforward update to your USDOT record. File it promptly. Mail from FMCSA, including audit and compliance notices, goes to the address on file.
Legal name changes
A legal name change is more involved. FMCSA wants the name on your record to match your formation documents and IRS records. If you hold operating authority, the authority, your insurance filing and your BOC-3 should carry the same name. A new EIN or a new legal entity may mean a new registration rather than a name change.
Records to keep in sync
- USDOT registration (MCS-150 details)
- Operating authority (MC number), if you have one
- Insurance filing with FMCSA
- BOC-3 process agent designation
- UCR registration
