How do I get a USDOT number?

Published 12/05/2014 11:58 AM   |    Updated 10/21/2016 01:03 PM

To get a USDOT number, new applicants must register online via the Unified Registration System. As of December 12, 2015, paper registration forms will no longer be accepted for initial applications, only for updates to existing registrations.

Until January 14, 2017 there is no charge for a USDOT number.

For more information about registering with the FMCSA, please see our "Getting Started with Registration" web page.
