Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) – Stay Compliant, Avoid Penalties
The 2025 UCR registration period is NOW OPEN!
UCR Registrations for the 2025 year may now be completed.
Roadside enforcement is currently slated to begin on 1/1/2025,
so please complete your registrations in a timely manner.
What is UCR?
The Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) is an annual federal registration program that requires interstate carriers, brokers, freight forwarders, and leasing companies to register and pay fees based on the size of their fleet. The UCR program was established to ensure all commercial transportation businesses contribute fairly to the cost of enforcing motor carrier safety regulations across states.
Who Needs to Register for UCR?
You must register for UCR if you:
Operate a commercial vehicle in interstate commerce (across state lines), and
Have an active USDOT Number issued by the FMCSA
This includes:
Motor carriers (private or for-hire)
Brokers and freight forwarders
Leasing companies
Even if you don’t own any vehicles (like brokers), you’re still required to register under UCR.
When Is UCR Due?
UCR registration is required annually, and the renewal period opens every October 1st for the upcoming year. Fees are based on the number of commercial motor vehicles you operate, and failure to register can lead to:
Costly fines
Out-of-service orders
Delayed freight operations at roadside inspections or ports of entry
