Question 2: What is the definition of "Certificate of Registration" in §387.7(b)(3)?

Guidance: "Certificate of Registration" means a document issued by the FMCSA to all Mexican motor carriers, for-hire as well as private, that allows them to enter the U.S., but restricts them to the commercial zone for a particular border municipality, as previously adopted by the ICC. The border municipality is the Port of Entry wherever the motor carrier’s vehicle enters the U.S.
