The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) opened 2024 Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) on October 1, 2023. Enforcement will begin on January 1, 2024.
Register through the National Registration System, UCR at www.ucr.gov. This is a new paperless online registration system and no longer the Indiana system. We recommended that you use Chrome, Firefox or Edge when accessing this website. If you are using Internet Explorer you may experience multiple errors.
Go to www.ucr.gov and follow the computer prompts. The system is now enabled for all mobile devices.
If you operated in 2021 and did not register, you must complete the appropriate year registration online at www.ucr.gov.
The UCR fee is determined by the number of motor vehicles (excluding trailers) last reported by the carrier to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
For purposes of determining fees, a commercial motor vehicle is defined as a self-propelled vehicle used on the highways in commerce, principally to transport passengers or cargo if the vehicle:
- has a gross vehicle weight rating or gross vehicle weight of at least 10,001 pounds, whichever is greater;
- is designed to transport more than 10 passengers, including the driver; or
- is used in transporting hazardous materials in a quantity requiring placarding.
