What this filing does

FMCSA Motus registration help without sharing account credentials

FMCSA launched Motus as its current USDOT registration system in May 2026. Mann Registration helps carriers and other regulated entities identify the correct transaction, reconcile business and operating facts, prepare supporting information, use the appropriate authorized-user workflow, and verify the result in the official record.

What Mann does—and what the agency decides

Mann Registration can review source facts, prepare a filing plan, and assist through an authorized service-provider role where available. The verified company user must control Login.gov, identity verification, account recovery, and user access. FMCSA controls the system, registrations, authority status, and official record.

Common questions

Motus Registration FAQ

What is Motus: USDOT Registration System?

Motus is FMCSA’s current online registration system for regulated entities and supporting companies. It supports new and existing registration actions, identity and business verification, company accounts, authorized users, and registration lifecycle work.

Is Motus the same as a USDOT number or MC authority?

No. Motus is the system used to submit and manage registration actions. A USDOT number identifies an entity’s safety and registration record, while operating authority is a separate authorization for specified regulated operations.

Can Mann Registration access my Motus account?

Only through the official role and invitation process appropriate to the requested service. Do not share Login.gov credentials, identity-verification images, one-time codes, passwords, or recovery information with Mann or any other service provider.

What should an existing carrier verify before making a change?

Confirm the correct legal entity, company official, authorized users, contact information, operation classifications, vehicles, mileage, cargo, authority, and related insurance or BOC-3 dependencies before submitting the transaction.

Does submitting through Motus guarantee approval or activation?

No. FMCSA controls identity and business verification, registration acceptance, authority status, holds, and official records. Insurance, BOC-3, public-notice, state, tax, and other requirements can remain separate.
