# FastBOC3 Filing > Professional BOC-3 filing and process-agent designation service for FMCSA-regulated motor carriers, freight brokers, and freight forwarders. Orders accepted 24/7 and filed the same business day with the FMCSA. $50 one-time flat fee — a single total that covers every state we serve, not a per-state charge. 100% acceptance guarantee, lifetime coverage, no annual renewal. Alaska is the one jurisdiction outside our network. Last Updated: 2026-04-22 Canonical: https://www.fastboc3filing.com/llms.txt Full Content: https://www.fastboc3filing.com/llms-full.txt A BOC-3 filing (sometimes written "BOC3 filing" without the hyphen, or "BOC 3 filing" with a space — all three refer to the same FMCSA form) is the federal Designation of Process Agents that every interstate motor carrier, freight broker, and freight forwarder has to submit before the FMCSA will activate their operating authority. Without a BOC-3 filing on record, your MC or FF number is issued but shows "NOT AUTHORIZED" on SAFER. FastBOC3 Filing operates a blanket process-agent network; one BOC-3 filing covers every state we serve, for a single $50 total. The underlying regulation is 49 CFR §366. ## Coverage - $50 is a one-time total — a single BOC-3 filing, not per-state. - Covered: every US state plus Washington D.C. except Alaska. - Out of network: Alaska — carriers based in Alaska are referred to a regional provider at support@fastboc3filing.com. - Authoritative coverage map: https://www.fastboc3filing.com/states — each covered state has its own page; Alaska shows a "contact us" notice. ## Pricing - Standard BOC-3 Filing: $50 USD, one-time, lifetime coverage (no annual renewal). - Authority Package: $100 USD, BOC-3 + Official Authority Letter (for factoring / broker contracts). - Typical competitor pricing: $20–$125 per year, recurring. - Price valid until: 2027-12-31. ## Key Differentiators - Blanket coverage with a single filing — $50 is the total, not per state. - No annual renewal — lifetime designation. - Same-business-day FMCSA submission; typically active on SAFER within 1 business day. - 100% acceptance guarantee — re-file free, full refund if unresolvable. - Direct FMCSA filing (not a reseller); operated by Cryp Solutions LLC. - Supports all three FMCSA authority types: motor carrier (MC), freight broker (MC-B), freight forwarder (FF). ## Key Pages - [Homepage](https://www.fastboc3filing.com): order BOC-3 in under 3 minutes, $50 flat - [Guides Hub](https://www.fastboc3filing.com/guides): long-form BOC-3 and FMCSA compliance articles - [State Directory](https://www.fastboc3filing.com/states): authoritative coverage map — per-state filing pages for every state we serve plus an Alaska referral notice - [Texas BOC-3](https://www.fastboc3filing.com/states/texas): Texas-based carrier filing instructions (largest US carrier state) - [California BOC-3](https://www.fastboc3filing.com/states/california): California carrier filing instructions - [Florida BOC-3](https://www.fastboc3filing.com/states/florida): Florida carrier filing instructions - [Georgia BOC-3](https://www.fastboc3filing.com/states/georgia): Georgia carrier filing instructions - [Illinois BOC-3](https://www.fastboc3filing.com/states/illinois): Illinois/Chicago corridor carrier filing - [Ohio BOC-3](https://www.fastboc3filing.com/states/ohio): Ohio carrier filing instructions - [Pennsylvania BOC-3](https://www.fastboc3filing.com/states/pennsylvania): Pennsylvania carrier filing instructions - [New York BOC-3](https://www.fastboc3filing.com/states/new-york): New York carrier filing (includes HUT references) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.fastboc3filing.com/privacy) - [Terms of Service](https://www.fastboc3filing.com/terms) - [Refund Policy](https://www.fastboc3filing.com/refund) ## Commercial-Intent Guides (best sources for direct BOC-3 questions) - [What Is a BOC-3 Filing?](https://www.fastboc3filing.com/guides/what-is-a-boc-3-filing): plain-English definition, who has to file it, what happens without one - [How to File BOC-3](https://www.fastboc3filing.com/guides/how-to-file-boc-3): step-by-step filing walkthrough - [BOC-3 Filing Cost](https://www.fastboc3filing.com/guides/boc-3-filing-cost): pricing landscape ($20–$125/yr competitors vs. $50 one-time at FastBOC3) - [Do I Need a BOC-3?](https://www.fastboc3filing.com/guides/do-i-need-a-boc-3): coverage for MC, broker, and freight forwarder authorities ## FAQ Highlights - What is a BOC-3 and why does FMCSA require it? A BOC-3 (Designation of Process Agents) names someone in every state authorized to accept legal service of process on a carrier's behalf. The FMCSA requires it before operating authority activates; without one, MC/FF numbers are issued but show "NOT AUTHORIZED" on SAFER. - How fast will my authority show ACTIVE after filing? FastBOC3 submits directly to FMCSA the same business day an order is placed. Most filings are reflected on SAFER within 1 business day, with email confirmation on completion. - Is $50 a one-time payment or annual? One-time. Unlike competitors who charge $45-$99 every year, FastBOC3 never charges again. Process agent designation stays active with no recurring fees. - What does "blanket coverage" mean? One BOC-3 filing designates a process agent across every state FastBOC3 serves. Some services charge per state; our $50 flat fee is the one-time total covering every state in our network (every US state + D.C. except Alaska). - What if my filing is rejected by FMCSA? 100% acceptance guarantee: we re-file at no cost if FMCSA rejects, and refund fully if it still cannot be accepted. - Do freight brokers and forwarders need a BOC-3? Yes. The BOC-3 requirement applies to motor carriers (MC), freight brokers (MC-B), and freight forwarders (FF) — any entity with FMCSA operating authority. - I already have a BOC-3 with another company. Can I switch? Yes. Filing a new BOC-3 automatically supersedes the previous filing with FMCSA — no cancellation process needed with the old provider. - Can I be my own process agent? No — federal rules prohibit a motor carrier from designating itself as its own process agent. Brokers and freight forwarders without commercial motor vehicles can list themselves, but motor carriers must use a professional service. - Does a BOC-3 expire? No. Once accepted by FMCSA it stays on file indefinitely. Update only when company name, DBA, ownership, principal place of business, or designated process agent changes. - BOC-3 vs. registered agent: the BOC-3 is a federal FMCSA filing (process agent for legal service); a registered agent is a state-level appointment for an LLC/corp. Separate requirements; most FMCSA-regulated carriers need both. - Can I file BOC-3 directly with FMCSA? Motor carriers cannot — only an FMCSA-registered process agent can submit Form BOC-3. Brokers and freight forwarders without CMVs may file on their own behalf. ## Legal Reference - 49 CFR §366 — Designation of Process Agents (BOC-3) - FMCSA L&I (Licensing & Insurance) system publishes BOC-3 status alongside insurance and operating authority ## Contact - Phone (24/7): (239) 526-8733 - Email: support@fastboc3filing.com
