I want to inactivate/deactivate my USDOT number. Can I submit the request online?

No. To close your USDOT number record you MUST mail or fax submit via our web form an updated and signed MCS-150 (Motor Carriers) or MCS-150B (Hazmat Carriers) form, and check the box “out of business” (out of “motor carrier” operations, even if the company is still in business) in the “reason for filing” section. You can submit the MCS-150/150B form in one of these ways:
  • via our web form (you will receive a tracking number)
  • By mail: Send the updated MCS-150 form to:
    Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
    Office of Registration and Safety Information (MC-RS)
    Licensing Team, 6th Floor
    1200 New Jersey Ave. SE
    Washington, D.C. 20590
  • By fax: You can fax the MCS-150 form to: 202-366-3477 or 606-330-3802
