UCR Registration Services
Annual Unified Carrier Registration filing and management—fee bracket determination, timely registration, digital proof of compliance, and renewal tracking that prevents roadside citations and out-of-service orders.
The Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) program requires interstate motor carriers, brokers, freight forwarders, and leasing companies to register annually and pay fees based on fleet size. Operating without current UCR registration exposes you to roadside citations, out-of-service orders, and complications with insurance renewals—enforcement officers can verify UCR status instantly, and non-compliance results in immediate consequences.
Diversified manages your complete UCR registration: we determine your fee bracket based on fleet composition, file your registration before the annual deadline, provide digital proof of compliance accessible from any device, and track renewals to ensure continuous registration. Our service fee is simple and transparent—you pay the actual government fees at cost plus our administration fee. Whether you operate one truck or hundreds, Diversified ensures your UCR registration stays current and your drivers carry proof of compliance at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you operate commercial motor vehicles in interstate commerce, you likely need UCR registration. This includes for-hire carriers, private carriers transporting their own goods across state lines, brokers, freight forwarders, and leasing companies. Diversified can confirm your registration requirements based on your specific operations.
UCR fees are based on brackets determined by your total number of qualifying commercial motor vehicles. Smaller fleets pay lower fees, with brackets increasing as fleet size grows. Diversified verifies your fleet count and ensures you're registered in the correct bracket—neither overpaying nor risking non-compliance from under-reporting.
UCR registration for each year typically opens in the fall and must be completed before operating in the new registration year. Many carriers register as soon as the filing window opens to ensure compliance. Diversified tracks deadlines and files your registration promptly to prevent any lapse in coverage.
