BOC – 3 Filing
Description
BOC-3 Filing & Process Agent Services
Stay Compliant with FMCSA Requirements
If you operate commercial vehicles across state lines, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires you to maintain an active BOC-3 filing before your operating authority can become active.
A BOC-3 (Designation of Agents for Service of Process) designates legal process agents in every state where your company conducts business or travels. Without a valid BOC-3 on file, your MC authority cannot be activated or reinstated.
At USDOTCompliance.com, we simplify the process by providing fast, secure, and reliable BOC-3 filing services through our nationwide network of FMCSA-listed process agents.
What Is a BOC-3 Filing?
A BOC-3 filing, also known as a Blanket of Coverage, is a federally required filing submitted to the FMCSA by a registered process agent company.
This filing is required for:
- Motor Carriers
- Freight Forwarders
- Property Brokers
- Trucking Companies operating interstate
The BOC-3 identifies legal representatives who are authorized to receive court papers and legal notices on behalf of your business in every U.S. state.

Important Compliance Requirements
Changes to Company Name or Address
FMCSA regulations require your BOC-3 filing information to remain current.
If your company changes its:
- Legal business name
- Physical business address
- Authority information
You must notify us immediately through your filing representative. Failure to update this information may result in removal from our process agent listing and release us from liability regarding service of legal documents.
Changes to Contact Information
You are responsible for keeping your company contact information updated, including:
- Phone number
- Email address
- Mailing address
Failure to maintain accurate contact information may prevent delivery of important legal documents and releases our agency from liability related to service of process.
