Free FMCSA lookup

Check your MC authority status

Enter a USDOT or MC number to see the public FMCSA authority status (pending, active, or inactive) and what is still missing, including the BOC-3 and insurance. The checker reads FMCSA's common, contract, and broker authority fields. It does not use the allowed-to-operate flag, and it does not promise when FMCSA will grant authority.

Need a BOC-3?

What each status means

  • Active. At least one authority type is active. FMCSA grants that only after the BOC-3 and insurance are on file.
  • Pending. FMCSA returned an explicit pending status. The BOC-3 and insurance are what is usually still needed, along with the protest period after the FMCSA Register notice. FMCSA controls that timing.
  • Not active. A docket is on file and no authority type is active or inactive, and FMCSA did not return an explicit pending status. The BOC-3 and insurance are what is usually still needed.
  • Inactive. Authority was granted and is not active now. A lapsed insurance filing or a missing BOC-3 is the usual cause.
