If your business address, mailing address, or principal place of business has changed, your carrier records may need to be updated. Carrier Compliance HQ helps carriers review existing records, identify affected filings, and complete address change updates through a guided process.
Keeping address information accurate helps maintain consistency across USDOT records, MC Authority records, insurance filings, state permits, and compliance documentation.
Address Change Process
An address change filing updates carrier records when a business changes its physical address, mailing address, principal place of business, or other contact information associated with its USDOT number or authority records.
Address updates help keep carrier records accurate and reduce confusion across filings, insurance documents, and compliance notices. Because several records can reference the same address, an address change is often less about a single form and more about making sure every affected record stays consistent.
The carrier's principal place of business has moved to a new physical location.
Compliance notices or business mail should now go to a different address.
Business contact or official address information has changed.
Operations are moving to a new yard, terminal, or business location.
State business records no longer match the carrier's records on file.
Carrier, insurance, and compliance records need to match a single address.
