What Is FMCSA Form BOC-3? Process Agent Filing in California

If you're a motor carrier, freight broker, or freight forwarder operating in or through California, federal law (49 CFR Part 366) requires you to designate a process agent in California — along with every other state — through a BOC-3 filing with the FMCSA.

A process agent in California is a person or company authorized to accept legal documents, including lawsuits and subpoenas, on your behalf within the state. Without this designation, your FMCSA operating authority is incomplete and you face fines of $16,000 or more per violation.

FastBOC3Filing.com files your BOC-3 as a professional blanket process agent service, covering California and all other 49 states plus Washington, D.C. — in a single filing, typically processed within 2 hours.
