The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) opened 2025 Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) on October 1, 2024. Enforcement will begin on January 1, 2025.
Motor carriers must register through the National Registration System (UCR) at www.ucr.gov. This is a paperless online system and no longer the Indiana system.
For best results, use Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. Internet Explorer may cause errors. The system is also fully enabled for use on mobile devices.
To begin, go to www.ucr.gov and follow the on-screen prompts.
Important: If you operated in a prior year but did not register, you must complete the registration for that year 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.
