of an application.
Safety Ratings
For information concerning a carrier's assigned safety rating, call 1-800-832-5660.
U.S. DOT Hazardous Material Regulations
To obtain information on whether the commodities an applicant intends to transport are considered as hazardous materials:
Refer to the provisions governing the transportation of hazardous materials found under Parts 100 through 180 of Title 49 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), particularly the Hazardous Materials Table at 49 CFR § 172.101 or visit the U.S. DOT, Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration web site: https://www.phmsa.dot.gov/phmsa-regulations. The web site also provides
information about DOT hazardous materials transportation registration requirements.

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING
EACH SECTION OF THE APPLICATION FORM
Section I. Applicant Information
Applicant's Legal Business Name and Doing Business As Name
The applicant’s name should be its full legal business name — the name on the incorporation certificate, partnership agreement,
tax records, etc. If the applicant uses a trade name that differs from its official business name, indicate this under “Doing Business
As Name.” Example: If the applicant is John Jones, doing business as Quick Way Trucking, enter “John Jones” under Legal Business
Name and “Quick Way Trucking” under Doing Business As Name.
Because the FMCSA uses computers to retain information about licensed carriers, it is important to spell, space, and punctuate any
name the same way each time the applicant writes it. Example: John Jones Trucking Co., Inc.; J. Jones Trucking Co., Inc.; and John
Jones Trucking are considered three separate companies.
Business Address/Mailing Address
The business address is the physical location of the business (for example, 24 Calle 10-08 Zona 11 Granai 2, Quetzaltenago, Guatemala).
If applicant receives mail at an address different from the business location, then provide the mailing address as well (for example,
P.O. Box 3721).
To receive FMCSA notices and to ensure that insurance documents filed on applicant’s
behalf are accepted, notify in writing the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration,
MC-RS, W65-206, 1200 New JerseyAvenue, S.E., Washington, DC 20590, if the business or
mailing address changes. If applicant also maintains an office in the United States, that
information should also be provided.
Representative
If someone other than the applicant is preparing this form, or otherwise assisting the applicant in completing the application,
provide the representative’s name, title, position, or relationship to the applicant, address, and telephone and fax numbers.
Applicant’s representative will be the person contacted if there are questions concerning this application.
U.S. DOT Number
Applicants are required to obtain a U.S. DOT Number from the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) before initiating
service. Motor carriers that already have been issued a U.S. DOT Number should provide it. Applicants that have not previously
obtained a U.S. DOT Number will be issued a U.S. DOT number along with their DOT registration.
A completed and signed Form MCS-150 Motor Carrier Identification Report must be
submitted along with this application.

FORM OP-1(NNA) Instructions • Page II of IV

INSTRUCTIONS OP-1(NNA) 

OMB No.: 2126-0016  Expiration: 03/31/2021

Form of Business
A business is a corporation, a sole proprietorship, or a partnership. If the business is a sole proprietorship, provide the name of the
individual who is the owner. In this situation, the Owner is the registration applicant. If the business is a partnership, provide the
full name of each partner.

Section 1A. Additional Applicant Information
All applicants must answer each question in this section. The applicant must provide the requested information concerning its
current operations in the United States and any motor carrier registration issued by any Non-North American government.

Section 2. Affiliations Information
All applicants must disclose pertinent information concerning any relationships or affiliations which the applicant has had with other
entities registered with FMCSA or its predecessor agencies. Applicant must indicate whether these entities have been disqualified
from operating commercial motor vehicles anywhere in the United States.

Section 3. Type(s) of Registration Requested
Check the appropriate box(es) for the type(s) of registration the applicant is requesting. A separate filing fee is required for certain
types of registration requested. Section 3 describes those types. Filing fees are waived for for-hire motor carriers exempt under 49
United States Code, Chapter 135, Subchapter I.

Section 4. Insurance Information
Check the appropriate box(es) that describes the type(s) of business the applicant will be conducting.
If the applicant is applying for motor passenger carrier registration, check the box that describes the seating capacity of its vehicles.
If all the vehicles the applicant operates have a seating capacity of 15 passengers or fewer, the applicant must maintain $1,500,000
minimum liability coverage. If any one of the vehicles the applicant operates has a seating capacity of 16 passengers or more, the
applicant must maintain $5,000,000 minimum liability coverage.
If the applicant is applying for motor property carrier registration and it operates vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000
pounds or more and hauls only non-hazardous materials, the applicant must maintain $750,000 minimum liability coverage for
the protection of the public. Hazardous materials referred to in the FMCSA’s insurance regulations in item (iii) of the table at 49 CFR
387.303 (b)(2) require $1 million minimum liability coverage; those in item (ii) of the table at 49 CFR 387.303 (b)(2) require $5 million
minimum liability coverage.
If the applicant operates only vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 10,001 pounds but will be transporting any
quantity of Division 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 explosives, any quantity of poison gas (Division 2.3, Hazard Zone A, or Division 6.1, Packing Group
1, Hazard Zone A materials), or highway route controlled quantity of radioactive materials, the applicant must maintain $5 million
minimum liability coverage.
Applicant does not have to submit evidence of insurance with the application. However, applicant will be required to present
acceptable evidence of necessary insurance coverage to the FMCSA as part of a pre-authorization safety audit. Appropriate insurance
forms must be filed within 90 days after the applicant submits its application: These include Form BMC-91 or BMC-91X for bodily
injury and property damage for all applicants and Form BMC-34 for cargo insurance (household goods carriers only).
The FMCSA does not furnish copies of insurance forms. The applicant must contact its insurance company to arrange for the filing of
all required insurance forms.
If an application is granted by the FMCSA, DOT registration is still not effective
and operations under that registration may not begin unless an insurance filing
has been made with and accepted by the FMCSA as required under 49 CFR 387.7,
387.31 and 387.301.

Section 5. Safety Certifications
Applicants for motor carrier registration must complete the safety certifications. The applicant should check the “YES” response only
if the applicant can attest to the truth of the statements. The carrier official’s signature at the end of this section applies to the Safety
Certifications. The “Applicant’s Oath” at the end of the application form applies to all certifications. False certifications are subject to
the penalties described in that oath.
Applicants should complete all applicable Attachment pages and, if necessary to complete the responses, attach additional pages
identifying the applicant on each supplemental page and referring to the section and item number in the application for each response.

information regarding their arbitration program and tariff. They must also certify they are familiar with FMCSA’s consumer protection
requirements applicable to household goods transportation. Applicants must disclose all relationships involving common stock,

Section 7. Scope of Operating Registration Sought
Applicant must indicate, by checking one or more boxes, the description(s) of the registration(s) for which application is being made.

Section 8. Compliance Certifications
All applicants are required to certify accurately to their willingness and ability to comply with statutory and regulatory requirements
and to their understanding that their agent for service of process is their official representative in the U.S. to receive filings and
notices in connection with enforcement of any Federal statutes and regulations.
Applicants are required to certify their willingness to produce records for the purpose of determining compliance with the applicable
safety regulations of the FMCSA.
Applicants are required to certify that they are not now prohibited from filing an application because a previously granted FMCSA
registration is currently under suspension or was revoked less than 30 days before the filing of this application.

Section 9. Applicant's Oath
The applicant or an authorized representative may prepare applications. In either case, the applicant must sign the oath and all
safety certifications. (For information on who may sign, see “General Instructions for Completing the Application Form” in the
instructions for this application.)

LEGAL PROCESS AGENTS
All motor carrier applicants must designate a process agent in each State where operations are conducted. For example, if the applicant
will operate only in California and Arizona, it must designate an agent in each of those States; if the applicant will operate in only one
State, an agent must be designated for that State only. Process agents who will accept filings and notices on behalf of the applicant are
designated on FMCSA Form BOC-3. Form BOC-3 must be filed with the application, unless the applicant uses a Process Agent Service. If
the applicant opts to use a Process Agent Service, it must submit a letter with the application informing the FMCSA of this decision and
have the Process Agent Service electronically file the BOC-3 with FMCSA within 90 days after the applicant submits its application.
Applicants may not begin operations unless Form BOC-3 has been filed with FMCSA.

STATE NOTIFICATION
Before beginning operations, all applicants must contact the appropriate regulatory agencies in every State in and through which
the carrier will operate to obtain information regarding various State rules applicable to interstate registrations. It is the applicant’s
responsibility to comply with registration, fuel tax, and other State regulations and procedures. Please refer to the additional
information provided in the application packet for further information.

MAILING INSTRUCTIONS
To file for registration an applicant must submit an original and one copy of this application with the appropriate filing fee to

FMCSA FILING FEES

Fee schedule effective January 1996.
Applicants must submit a filing fee of $300.00 for each type of
registration that requires a filing fee. The total amount due is equal
to the fee(s) times the number of boxes checked in Section 3 (where a
filing fee applies) of the Form OP-1(NNA). Fees for multiple authorities
may be combined in a single payment.

Filing fees apply only to For-Hire carriers of passengers or property. The fee is waived if a For-Hire carrier is exempt under 49 U.S.C.
Chapter 135, Subchapter I.
Filing fees must be payable to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, by check drawn upon funds deposited in a bank in the
United States or money order payable in U.S. currency or by approved credit card.
Separate fees are required for each type of registration requested. If applicant requests registration as a for-hire motor carrier and as a
motor private carrier, multiple fees are required. The applicant may submit a single payment for the sum of the applicable fees.
Filing fees must be sent along with the original and one copy of the application to the appropriate address under the paragraph titled
"MAILING INSTRUCTIONS" on page IV of the instructions to this form.
After an application is received, the filing fee is non-refundable.

discontinue processing any application for which a check is returned due to insufficient funds. No application will be processed until
