Temporary Suspension of USDOT Inactivation in Motus

26 Jun 2026 9:07 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

As FMCSA continues supporting the transition to Motus, the USDOT Registration System, launched on May 19, and to help reduce disruption during this transition period, FMCSA has temporarily suspended the inactivation of USDOT numbers for entities that have not completed the required biennial update since June 1. Registrants will receive additional time to complete any required biennial updates and should not worry about inactivation resulting from Motus-related access or system issues. We will share additional guidance as recovery and stabilization efforts continue. 

Other inquiries or ANY issue that needs immediate attention regarding FMCSA Registration or the CMV Industry in general, please call the FMCSA Registration Customer Service Center: 1-800-832-5660, or contact them via the webform: https://ask.fmcsa.dot.gov/app/ticket. They have the resources you need for your FMCSA Registration inquiry. Concomitantly, see table below to guide you in using the FMCSA Customer Service tools.
