Will I keep the same MC number if I change my name? Will I receive a new certificate or permit?

Yes, you will keep the same MC number if you change your name. However, you will not receive a new certificate or permit, but you will receive a re-entitlement decision which should be attached to your original operating authority.

There are situations where a legal name change, ownership change or form of business change may require a new USDOT number. for more information, click here.
