BOC-3 Filing (Initial and Renewal)

Description

WHAT IS A BOC-3?

BOC-3 stands for Bureau of Compliance Form #3. The BOC-3 consists of a roster of agents who have consented to serve as receiving agents on behalf of their respective states.

Should your company become embroiled in a legal case as a DEFENDANT, these agents will accept documents on your behalf and subsequently transmit them to you for necessary follow-up. This form is among the mandatory documents to be electronically submitted to the FMCSA by all interstate brokers, freight forwarders, and carriers.

WHO NEEDS TO FILE A BOC-3?

Every newly established transportation company is required to submit a BOC-3 before commencing operations within the United States, regardless of whether they intend to function as a motor carrier, broker, or freight forwarder. All MC/FF/MX accounts filed with the FMCSA need a BOC-3.

WHEN DO YOU NEED TO FILE A BOC-3?

• Name Change
• Reinstatement
• Transfer of Authority
• Annual Renewal
