FMCSA Motus Registration Requirement.

Jun 17, 2026

FMCSA has transitioned to Motus, its new USDOT Registration System. It is critical that your company gains access to the Motus platform and verifies that its registration information is accurate and up to date. Motus is now the primary platform for managing USDOT registration information, including company records, authorized users, and MCS-150 filings.

Failure to establish access to Motus and maintain current registration information may result in compliance issues, delays in required filings, or potential impacts to your USDOT registration status. Operating a commercial motor vehicle without an active USDOT number is prohibited and may result in regulatory penalties, business disruptions, and financial consequences. In addition, an inactive or deactivated USDOT number may create concerns related to your participation in eRisk Services programs.
