Online Registration Updates are Back

If you received a letter stating you were due to complete a biennial update, please take into account that as of January 20, 2025, the FMCSA Registration Options have been integrated into the FMCSA Portal  to enhance security and comply with the Presidential mandate for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). The following types of registration updates can now be completed online via the FMCSA Portal:
 
•    Apply for additional operating authority
•    File a biennial update (MCS-150)
•    File a change of address
•    Reinstate Operating Authority
•    Reapply for a USDOT Number after New Entrant revocation
•    Update cargo tank registration
•    Update HM Safety Permit (MCS-150B) registration
 
What do I do next?
 
If you arrived at this page from a link in your FMCSA Portal account, simply go back to your Portal account and look for the "Registration" option in the top menu.  

Registration Options for Online Updates


 
If you do not see the "Registration" option, you can use the "Account Management" > "My Profile" > "Portal Roles" tab to add (if you are a Company Official) or request (if you are an Associate of a Company) the necessary roles for making online updates. The “Modify Company Information” and “View Sensitive Company Information” roles allow access to make changes to FMCSA Registration.
