Name Change
Any time a carrier or other regulated entity changes its name, address, or other details in its record, it must update its MC/ICC operating authority record with FMCSA promptly. If you make updates to your MC operating authority, you must also file the same changes with DOT under your MCS-150 report as a separate filing. All carrier information must match on both sides at all times.
All purchases are considered non-refundable, but the fee can be transferred as credit towards an alternative service if a service is not rendered.
