Terms of Service
Effective November 15, 2026
1. About us
USDOT Number Application is a private business that helps motor carriers, brokers and freight forwarders prepare and submit registration filings. We are not a government agency and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by FMCSA, USDOT or any other agency.
2. Filing on your own
You may apply for a USDOT number, operating authority and UCR directly with the government and pay only the government fees, if any. There is no government fee for a USDOT number. Our fee covers preparation, review, filing and follow-up, and is separate from government fees, insurance premiums and process-agent charges.
3. Accurate information
You agree to give us complete and truthful information and to review the summary we send before filing. Filings are based on what you provide, and inaccurate answers can lead to delays, rejection or penalties.
4. Identity verification
Some agency systems, including FMCSA's Motus, require the applicant to verify their own identity. You are responsible for completing any identity step that must be done personally.
5. No guaranteed outcome
Agencies decide whether and when to issue a number or grant authority. Any timing we mention is an estimate. We do not guarantee approval or a processing time.
6. Fees and refunds
We quote our fee before work starts. Government fees paid for you cannot be refunded by us once submitted. Any refund of our fee follows the terms in your quote.
7. Not legal advice
Information on this site and from our team is general information, not legal, tax or insurance advice.
8. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim related to our services is limited to the fee you paid us for that service.
9. Updates
We may revise these terms. The effective date above shows the latest version.
