What is the Unified Registration System?

Published 12/05/2014 02:52 PM   |    Updated 07/28/2016 04:18 PM

The Unified Registration System (URS) is a new electronic on-line registration system that will streamline and simplify the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) registration process and serve as a clearinghouse and depository of information on all entities regulated by the Agency, including motor carriers, brokers, freight forwarders, intermodal equipment providers (IEPs), hazardous materials safety permit (HMSP) applicants/holders, and cargo tank manufacturing and repair facilities. The URS will combine multiple registration processes, information technology systems and forms into a single, electronic online registration process.

Note: The initial phase of URS will only affect new registrants (Dec. 12, 2015). Later phases in 2017 will affect all regulated entities.

For more information, please see the October 21, 2015 Federal Register Notice.
