How do I inactivate my USDOT number?

Question:
How do I inactivate my USDOT number?
Answer:

You must submit the Form MCS-150 and select the reason for filing as “Out of Business.” Please provide a copy (as an attachment) of the Driver’s License from the individual who signed the certification statement either #31 on the Form MCS-150, #37 on the Form MCS-150B, or #22 on the Form MCS-150 C. 

  

If you have an active operating authority linked to your USDOT Number, you must submit the Form OCE-46 along with the Form MCS-150. The Form OCE-46 must be notarized or signed in the presence of an FMCSA staff member. 

  

You can submit the completed and signed forms using the following options:

  • Submit a ticket via the FMCSA Registration Contact webpage. 
  • Fax: You can fax the completed and signed form and letter to 202-366-3477. 

 

Please note FMCSA strongly encourages users to submit a ticket via the FMCSA Registration Contact webpage for a faster processing time.
