The MCS-150 — also called "Form MCS-150," "Motor Carrier Identification Report," "MCR," or "USDOT Biennial Update" — must be filed every 24 months and within 30 days of any company change (address, fleet size, operation type). The due month is determined by the last digit of a USDOT number: 1=January, 2=February, ..., 0=October. Even second-to-last-digit USDOTs file in even years; odd digits file in odd years. Failure to file results in USDOT deactivation and civil penalties of up to $1,000 per day, not to exceed $10,000. FMCSA registration now runs through the Motus system at motus.dot.gov (since May 2026) with Login.gov identity verification, replacing the legacy URS portal and USDOT PINs.

## FAQ Highlights

- What is the MCS-150 Biennial Update? MCS-150 is the FMCSA Motor Carrier Identification Report, a mandatory update every registered USDOT carrier files every two years. Missing the deadline triggers USDOT deactivation, with civil penalties of up to $1,000 per day, not to exceed $10,000.
- Who needs to file MCS-150? Every FMCSA-registered motor carrier, freight broker, and freight forwarder with an active USDOT number must file MCS-150 every two years. Interstate and intrastate carriers alike.
- How much does MCS-150 cost? FMCSA itself charges no fee. FastMCS150 charges $150 standard for a single MCS-150 filing submitted the same business day, or $350 once for lifetime updates that cover every future biennial filing. Login.gov or PIN recovery help adds $25.
- When is MCS-150 due? Determined by the last digit of the USDOT (1=Jan, 2=Feb … 0=Oct). Even second-to-last-digits file in even years; odd digits file in odd years.
- What happens if you miss the MCS-150 deadline? FMCSA deactivates your USDOT roughly 30 days after the deadline. SAFER flips to INACTIVE and the missed filing carries civil penalties of up to $1,000 per day, not to exceed $10,000.
- What information is needed? USDOT number, FEIN or SSN, business address, operation type (interstate/intrastate), miles traveled in the last calendar year, fleet breakdown, hazmat status, and driver counts.
- What is the Login.gov / PIN situation? FMCSA migrated from legacy USDOT PINs to Login.gov in May 2026 with the Motus registration system. With a working Login.gov account, filing is instant. Login.gov setup or PIN recovery adds a $25 service fee.
- Can I file online? Yes. Same-business-day submission to FMCSA with email confirmation.
