Applying For Your MC Number

Applying for a new MC Number typically takes a minimum of twenty to twenty-five business days to complete. Once you’ve applied and completed the process, your information will be published in the federal registry.

To successfully obtain your MC Number, you must fulfill additional requirements, including filing your BOC-3 (Blanket of Coverage) process agent designation, securing a surety bond, insurance, and more. You have at least eighty business days to comply with these requirements. Failure to do so may result in application dismissal, requiring an additional fee for a new MC Number or operating authority.

What are the consequences for Non-Compliance?

Operating without an authority poses risks to your business. Carriers operating without authority may face being put Out of Service. Additionally, companies operating without an authority are subject to fines.
