How To Un-Dismiss Your Authority
NOTICE: After 7/31/2023 the FMCSA will no longer accept undismissal requests to activate your authority. You will then need to reapply and pay the fees all over again.
Are you ready to activate your authority but the FMCSA "dismissed" it?
What does the status "dismissed" mean? It simply means your authority was never activated, usually due to lack of insurance.
Check your status here. Does it look like the screen shots below?

If your account looks like this then here are your next steps to activate your authority AND keep your MC and USDOT numbers.
We will make sure your USDOT is active, address & contact information is correct, and file the request for the Un-Dismissal to the FMCSA.
Once your account is placed back into a pending status then it goes through normal channels as if it were new. Expect 1-2 weeks for activation.
- Make sure your USDOT is active. Click here to check your USDOT snapshot. If it's inactive an MCS-150 will need to be completed and sent in to the USDOT. Don't worry, we will do this for you.
