Know exactly what you’ll pay before filing. No hidden fees. No surprise charges.
Every filing on this page breaks down into a government fee and a Carrier Compliance HQ service fee, so you can see exactly where your money goes.
Set by the FMCSA, the UCR Plan, or state agencies and paid directly to them. Some filings, like USDOT registration, have no government fee at all.
Cover preparation, accuracy review, filing assistance, compliance guidance, and human support. Separate from any government fee.
Government fees are set by the agencies and can change. We review fee schedules and confirm current amounts before every submission.

Current fees will be confirmed prior to submission. Government fees verified May 29, 2026. UCR fees vary by fleet size and are calculated before checkout.

A government fee is a charge set by an agency — the FMCSA, the UCR Plan, or a state — and paid directly to that agency. For example, the FMCSA charges $300 per authority type for MC Authority. Many filings, like USDOT registration and the biennial update, have no government fee.
A service fee is what Carrier Compliance HQ charges to prepare your filing, review it for accuracy, coordinate the agency workflow, and support you through submission. It’s always separate from the government fee and shown on its own line.
Yes. Agencies update their fee schedules periodically, and fees such as UCR are recalculated every year. We review the current schedules and confirm the exact amount before we submit anything on your behalf.
Yes. You can file directly with the FMCSA, and many filings are free when you do. You’re paying us for convenience, accuracy, and ongoing compliance support — not for access to the government filing itself.
