Keep Your Authority Current and Compliant

Business changes happen. TFIG makes it easy to keep your FMCSA authority up to date. Whether you’re moving, rebranding, changing ownership, or closing your business, we help you file the appropriate amendments quickly and correctly.

Address Changes 

Update your FMCSA authority and DOT records when your business moves. TFIG files your address change and confirms it appears correctly in the SAFER database.

Includes:

  • Filing of updated MCS-150
  • FMCSA and DOT updates
  • Confirmation of address correction

Name Changes

If your business name has changed due to rebranding or incorporation, we update your FMCSA authority records accordingly.

Includes:

  • Legal entity name updates
  • Supporting document submission
  • Revised certificate downloads

Ownership Transfers

When your business is sold or merged, the FMCSA may require transfer documentation. TFIG walks you through what’s allowed and helps complete necessary paperwork.

Includes:

  • Guidance on transfer eligibility
  • Authority transfer filings
  • Notification letters to FMCSA

Close Authority

No longer operating? Officially close your MC and/or DOT authority to avoid penalties or confusion.
