Is My Business Required to Complete UCR Registration?

Yes, if part of your business requires interstate travel, then you must submit your Unified Carrier Registration. In 2005, the federal government passed a law that all individuals or companies that operate commercial motor vehicles across state or international lines must pay an annual fee based on the size of their fleet. It is mandatory to complete the FMCSA UCR registration every year you are in business. For example, this means if you operated in 2023 and completed the UCR for 2023, if you plan to operate in 2024 as well, you will also have to complete a 2024 UCR Registration. Don’t waste money on unnecessary fines or worse. Let us help you register your vehicle or whole fleet today! We can assist with both a UCR renewal or with completing a new UCR filing!

What if My State is not Part of the UCR Registration Agreement?

You still must submit your Unified Carrier Registration if your business crosses state or federal lines. Canadian-based businesses and drivers who reside in states that don’t participate in the UCR Registration Agreement still need to follow the Unified Carrier Registration Act of 2005. Don’t get caught at the border without properly registering first. Drivers caught on the road without proper UCR registration are subject to fines and can even have their vehicle impounded. The UCR 2023 permitting is nearing its expiration, which means the UCR 2024 filing period is approaching. Make sure to complete your UCR renewal in a timely manner or get your new UCR filing completed before hitting the road. Let us help you find a state to register with and get yourself safely back on the road.
