Reinstating or reactivating your operating authority (MC, FF, or MX Docket Number) requires the following steps:
- Submit Proof of Insurance and Form BOC-3 to the FMCSA.
- Motor Carriers Only: Ensure your USDOT Number is active and has updated contact information.
- Submit a reinstatement request along with a biennial update, if necessary, to update your information.
- Typically, your authority will be active within a week after submitting the application and payment.
- FMCSA will notify you if your application is on hold, pending additional information or under review.
- If your operating authority has been dismissed for over a year, you must reapply for a new authority.
