Who needs to participate in UCR?

['Operating Authority']
Who needs to participate in UCR?
  • Requirements of the UCR process pertain to various for-hire carriers and are separate from IRP and IFTA reporting criteria.

For-hire carriers of passengers, private and for-hire carriers of property (including those operating as “exempt” carriers), freight forwarders, leasing companies, and brokers are all subject to Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) requirements annually.

Carriers that are based in non-participating states, or that operate wholly in non-participating states are subject to UCR . Canada- and Mexico-domiciled carriers operating in the United States are also subject to UCR.

The registration does not issue a paper credential to be carried in the vehicle. Proof of UCR is available to roadside enforcement via Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) electronic information systems by accessing the carrier U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) number.

UCR does not replace or change requirements for registration of vehicles under the International Registration Plan (IRP) or fuel use tax reporting under the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA).

Electronic registration and information are available at plan.ucr.gov.
