How can I reactivate my USDOT number?
Verify the USDOT number status on the SAFER Company Snapshot web page. If the status reads “Record Inactive” or “Inactive USDOT Number per 49 CFR 390.19(b)(4); Biennial update of MCS-150 data not completed” you will need to complete, sign and submit a new Motor Carrier Identification Report (Form MCS-150) to reactivate the USDOT Number.
Click here to obtain the Form MCS-150 and directions. Please use forms directly from our website as other places may include expired forms by mistake. FMCSA does not accept expired versions of the MCS-150, MCS-150B and MCS-150C forms.
If your USDOT status reads “Inactive USDOT Number per 49 CFR 390.19(b)(4); Biennial update of MCS-150 data not completed” on the SAFER Company Snapshot, for fastest service, we encourage our customers to use their USDOT PIN and reactivate online here. Click here to request a new PIN or reset your existing PIN so you may reactivate online.
If you are reactivating your USDOT Number after a New Entrant revocation, click here as there are separate instructions to follow.
Click here if you also need to reinstate operating authority if it has been revoked. To avoid processing delays, please make sure you first have an active, up-to-date USDOT Number record before requesting reinstatement – or – submit a completed MCS-150 form along with your reinstatement request.
If you have questions about your USDOT status, please contact us here by phone, email or chat. We can also walk you through the process on your computer using our co-browse functionality.
