USDOT Pin Request

All motor carriers, brokers, and leasing companies that haul across state lines or within a state that adheres to the UCR program, are required to register their US DOT Numbers with the Unified Carrier Registration.
All UCR filings will be completed during normal business hours.

Starting January 1, 2024, all relevant companies in the trucking industry, that lack Unified Carrier Registration compliance, may be subjected to citations, fines, and penalties imposed by individual states, the DOT and the board of the Unified Carrier Registration. You will also not be allowed to renew your trucks' registrations as well as IFTA. In order to ensure complete compliance, the aforementioned freight hauling companies are advised to verify that the number of trucks requiring registration matches the amount listed on the MCS-150 / Biennial Update that was last filed (this number will affect filing fee and truck tier pricing). Please note, pricing is for the UCR filing fee, processing fee, filing fee and there may be additional fees for processing time as well as a certificate.


For brokers, it is recommended to complete this registration under the 1-2 trucks section if business operations include interstate activity (if brokering any loads outside of the state the company is operating in).

Please note, the total listed fee at checkout is for the UCR fee as assessed by the UCR board for the year and the number of trucks registered, service charge, and there may be additional fees for processing time.
A USDOT Personal Identification Number is an eight character code, consisting of digits and letters, that is received during carrier registration. The USDOT PIN number is necessary for accessing federal motor carrier safety scores, registering for the Drug and Alcohol ClearingHouse, reactivating an MC Number, reactivating your DOT Number and completing biennial updates.
If you no longer have the PIN, one can be mailed out to you to your current mailing address that is on file. The PIN cannot be mailed to a separate address, so if you do not receive mail at the mailing address on file for your DOT Number, you will have to file an MCS-150 / Biennial Update with manual paperwork in order to update your address.

The format of the USDOT PIN Number is NLNNLLNL, where N = Number and L = Letter. For example, 1A23BC4D.

Please note, the PIN will be sent via regular mail which may take 7-10 business days to arrive.
