Unified Registration System (URS)

Document
FMCSA - Privacy - URS - PIA - 2025.pdf

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is an Operating Administration (OA) within the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) with a core mission to reduce commercial motor vehicle-related crashes and fatalities. To further this mission, FMCSA created the Unified Registration System (URS), an electronic on-line registration system that streamlines and simplifies the FMCSA’s registration process for first time applicants, including motor carriers, brokers, freight forwarders, intermodal equipment providers (IEPs), hazardous materials safety permit (HMSP) applicants/holders, and cargo tank manufacturing and repair facilities. This Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is published in accordance with the E-Government Act of 2002 and addresses the risks associated with maintaining and facilitating access to data in the URS. The URS collects personal and business information that may also be considered Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

DOT is committed to ensuring that information is available in appropriate alternative formats to meet the requirements of persons who have a disability. If you require an alternative version of files provided on this page, please contact Privacy@dot.gov.
