What Is Motus Registration?
Motus is FMCSA's USDOT registration system for motor carriers, brokers, freight forwarders, intermodal equipment providers, cargo tank facilities, and supporting companies. It is designed to bring registration tasks, identity controls, supporting documents, and registration status into one modern FMCSA workflow.
For carriers, that means registration details need to be accurate before filing. A mismatch in legal name, DBA, address, authority type, ownership details, insurance information, or supporting documents can delay approval or create compliance problems later.
Motus Filing Tasks We Help With
New USDOT & Authority Applications
We help new carriers prepare and file USDOT number and operating authority applications through the current FMCSA registration workflow.
Motus Account Setup & Access
We help owners and authorized users organize login access, company information, and supporting documentation for Motus registration tasks.
Biennial Updates & Company Changes
We help keep legal names, DBA names, addresses, contacts, mileage, operation type, and authority information aligned with FMCSA records.
Authority Changes & Reinstatement
We assist with additional authority requests, suspended authority reinstatement, reactivation, and filing status follow-up.
Document Review Before Filing
We check business, insurance, process agent, and operation details before submission to reduce preventable delays and mismatches.

Why Add Motus Support to Your Compliance Setup?
FMCSA registration records affect broker onboarding, insurance review, authority status, audits, roadside visibility, and public carrier data. Motus makes registration data more centralized, so carriers should keep filings consistent with their business records and operating authority.
We connect Motus registration with the related compliance work carriers usually need: BOC-3 filing, UCR, IRP and IFTA, state permits, drug and alcohol testing, FMCSA Clearinghouse, driver files, and new entrant audit preparation.
