FMCSA L&I
Also known as: Licensing & Insurance, L&I Public Records

Definition
FMCSA L&I was the agency’s legacy Licensing & Insurance public-records system. It showed operating-authority status, BOC-3 process-agent designations and insurance filings on record for any carrier, broker or freight forwarder. It was retired in May 2026 when FMCSA moved registration functions into the Motus system (motus.dot.gov); registration and authority status are now looked up in FMCSA’s Motus public search by USDOT number or company name. SAFER still surfaces the safety and identification data the MCS-150 feeds.
