You may need to reactivate a DOT number for several reasons:
- Failure to complete the biennial update
- Failure to complete the New Entrant Program
To reactivate a USDOT number, you will need to mail or fax a completed and updated MCS-150 form. You can only submit it online if:
- You are reactivating a US DOT number that was deactivated due to failure to complete the Biennial Update: You must check the box “Biennial Update or Changes” in the “Reason for Filing” section
- You are reapplying after a New Entrant Revocation: You must check the box “Reapplication (after Revocation of New Entrant)” in the “Reason for Filing” section
If you are a Mexico-domiciled carrier or your number has been deactivated for reasons other than not filing your Biennial Update, then you will need to mail or fax a completed and updated MCS-150 form. You must check the box “Biennial Update or Changes” in the “Reason for Filing” section.
You can submit the paper form in one of these ways:
- By email: You can upload and submit the updated MCS-150 via our web form (you will receive a tracking number)
- By mail: You can send the updated MCS-150 form to:
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
Office of Registration and Safety Information (MC-RS)

Washington, D.C. 20590 - By Fax: You can fax the MCS-150 form to: 202-366-3477 or 606-330-3802
