Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) is an annual registration program for certain interstate transportation businesses. Do not use an old fee table or a mailed sales notice to decide what you owe: the fee and registration year matter, and the official UCR Plan publishes the current information.
Check whether your business is covered
Start with the UCR Plan’s “Do I Need to Register?” questionnaire. It asks about your business category and operations. The Plan also explains in its FAQs how the base-state system works; being based in a non-participating state does not, by itself, settle whether you owe UCR registration.
Use the current year and official portal
Check the UCR Plan’s fee brackets for the registration year you need, then use the official UCR registration portal if you are ready to file. You can register directly; a third-party filing service is not required. Verify the website address before entering company or payment information.
UCR is separate from other DOT administrative work. For driver files, hiring support, and audit-preparation services, see LBC Fleet’s compliance and driver-support services. That service overview is not the official UCR portal and does not determine your UCR fee.
