How long does it take to get my operating authority?
The MC Number is available immediately when the electronic application
is received by the
FMCSA. There are many websites that will talk about this because
we all use the same system. However, even though we have obtained
your MC Number you do not have operating authority yet. The Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Administration issues the operating authority
once certain qualifications have been completed.
Those
qualifications are as follows:
- Your pending MC Number must be published in the FMCSA Register (this can take 2-4 days).
- Once your MC Number has been published in the Register you will start a ten day protest period.
- Both your insurance and a form called the BOC-3 will have to be filed.
Once
the protest period has ended and all filings are complete the
FMCSA will issue final authority within the next few days. The
average time to obtain your authority from start to finish is
between 20-28 days.
