How to file BOC-3 with AMERICAN PROCESS AGENTS
- Confirm the agent is active and FMCSA-recognized. Check the status badge above and the latest "as of" date. Inactive or missing entries can cause your BOC-3 to be rejected. AMERICAN PROCESS AGENTS appears in FMCSA's processed agents file as of the date shown.
- Verify coverage matches your operating states. Compare the coverage map (all 50 states (blanket coverage)) to every state your operation will cross. FMCSA requires a process agent in every state — gaps must be filled by a second agent or a blanket designation.
- Complete and submit Form BOC-3 to FMCSA via L&I. BOC-3 must be filed by the agent, not the carrier. Contact AMERICAN PROCESS AGENTS to start the intake; they'll submit Form BOC-3 to FMCSA's Licensing & Insurance system electronically on your behalf, usually for a one-time fee.
- Notify your insurer of the BOC-3 designation (if required). Some BMC-91 insurers want a copy of the active BOC-3 on file before binding or renewing public-liability coverage. Forward your filing confirmation to your agent of record so the policy stays aligned.
- Maintain the designation — cancellation auto-revokes operating authority. FMCSA automatically revokes operating authority 30 days after a BOC-3 cancellation if no replacement is filed. Pay your annual fee on time, keep contact info current with the agent, and file a replacement immediately if you switch.

About Form BOC-3
Form BOC-3 — Designation of Agents for Service of Process — is the FMCSA filing every motor carrier, broker, and freight forwarder operating in interstate commerce must keep on record. Federal regulation 49 CFR § 366.4 requires the designation to cover every state the carrier operates in: a single "blanket" agent can satisfy the requirement nationwide, or different agents can be named for individual states.
Only a registered process agent — not the carrier itself — can submit Form BOC-3 to FMCSA. Once filed, the designation becomes effective immediately and stays in force until canceled. Cancellation triggers automatic revocation of operating authority 30 days later unless a replacement BOC-3 is on file. Most carriers re-file BOC-3 only when switching agents or when an agent goes out of business.
