BOC-3 Suspension Reinstatement
For authority suspended because your BOC-3 was cancelled.
Fast filing: started within 1 business day
$219Your new BOC-3 and your reinstatement request, including FMCSA's $80 fee. Any fleet size.
Does your FMCSA record say "Involuntary Suspension - BOC-3 cancellation effective; no active process agent (BOC-3) filing on file"? Then your authority was suspended over your BOC-3, not your insurance. We file the new BOC-3 and your reinstatement request for one price.
What It Costs
| What it covers | Total |
|---|---|
| New BOC-3 + reinstatement request + FMCSA's $80 fee, any fleet size | $219 |
The total covers our reinstatement service, FMCSA's $80 reinstatement fee (paid to FMCSA at cost), and your new BOC-3 ($50 as a combo instead of its usual $74.99).
If your USDOT went inactive, it usually returns with the reinstatement. If it does not, we file the MCS-150 that reactivates it at no extra charge.
FMCSA charges its $80 for each kind of authority, so reinstating a second authority, such as broker as well as carrier, adds another $80.
The BOC-3 is a one-time filing with no yearly FMCSA renewal. Checkout has an optional box to auto-renew it with us for $74.99 a year. Your total does not change either way.
Who This Is For
- Your authority was suspended because your BOC-3 was cancelled
- Your insurance filing is on record with FMCSA
- You can sign in to Motus and see your USDOT number on your account
FMCSA has to fix these first: your Motus login does not show your USDOT number, a filing or review is already pending with FMCSA, or there is an out-of-service order on your record. Call FMCSA at 1-800-832-5660.
When the Total Is Different
- Suspended for insurance, not your BOC-3: these prices do not apply. See authority reinstatement.
- Your record says "Involuntary Suspension - filing cancellation effective; no active BOC-3 and no active insurance meeting minimum coverage on file": both were cancelled. The price is the same, but your insurance agent has to refile your insurance too. That part is between you and your insurer.
- Your BOC-3 is already back on file: you do not need another one from us, so it is reinstatement alone: $169.
Enter your USDOT number and we read your FMCSA record, then show your suspension, the reason, and your exact total before you pay.
How It Works
- Enter your USDOT number and check the total against your FMCSA record.
- Pay securely by card.
- Give us your Motus sign-in on a private page. Login.gov texts you a security code, so we reach out to you for it when we file.
- We file your new BOC-3, then your reinstatement request in Motus.
- We email you at each step until your authority shows active.
Our Guarantee
If your insurance filing is on record when you order, we file your reinstatement request, and FMCSA does not reinstate your authority, we refund our reinstatement service fee. FMCSA's $80 follows its own refund rules. If we cannot sign in to your Motus account to file, even with your help, we refund what you paid for that filing. Records with an out-of-service order or a problem only FMCSA can resolve are not covered. Full details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why not just buy a BOC-3 for $74.99?
Sometimes FMCSA reinstates once the new BOC-3 posts, and sometimes it still needs a reinstatement request with its $80 fee. The combo covers both, so you are not left waiting to find out.
Who cancelled my BOC-3?
The process agent company that filed it. FMCSA's records name that company on your BOC-3 history.
How long does it take?
FMCSA says authority is typically active within a week of the request and valid payment. On a BOC-3 suspension we handled in October 2026, FMCSA accepted the request the same day. FMCSA decides the timing, so we cannot promise a date.
Can I keep hauling in the meantime?
Not under your own authority. Do not operate until FMCSA shows it active again.
Do I need a new MC number?
For a suspension, usually not. The reinstatement request brings back the same number.
