Carriers whose updates were due on or after June 1 have more time, while FMCSA works to stabilize its new registration system and warns of phishing sites impersonating its new carrier registration system, Motus.

Motor carriers that have been unable to complete a required biennial update during the transition to FMCSA’s new Motus registration system will not have their USDOT numbers inactivated — at least for now.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has temporarily suspended enforcement of the biennial-update requirement and the inactivation of USDOT numbers for entities that have not filed the required update.

The relief applies to registrants whose biennial updates were due on or after June 1, 2026. FMCSA said those registrants will receive additional time to complete the filing while the agency continues “recovery and stabilization efforts” for Motus.
