What Is FMCSA Form BOC-3? Process Agent Filing in South Carolina
If you're a motor carrier, freight broker, or freight forwarder operating in or through South Carolina, federal law requires you to designate a process agent in South Carolina - along with every other state you run in - through a BOC-3 filing with the FMCSA.
A process agent in South Carolina 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.

Frequently Asked Questions - BOC-3 Filing in South Carolina
Do I need a separate BOC-3 for South Carolina?▼
No. A single BOC-3 filing with FastBOC3Filing.com covers South Carolina along with every other state in our network. The $75 is a one-time total, not a per-state fee.
How much does a BOC-3 filing cost for South Carolina?▼
Our BOC-3 filing is $75 one-time and covers all states including South Carolina. There are no per-state fees, annual renewals, or hidden charges.
How long does it take to get BOC-3 coverage in South Carolina?▼
Orders are accepted 24/7. We submit your BOC-3 to the FMCSA the same business day you order; your South Carolina process agent designation becomes active once the FMCSA processes the filing, typically within 1 business day.
What are the penalties for not having a BOC-3 in South Carolina?▼
Without a BOC-3 on file, your FMCSA operating authority cannot become active. Federal fines start at $16,000+ per violation, your authority can be revoked, and shippers, brokers, and load boards in South Carolina will refuse to work with you. Filing your BOC-3 for $75 eliminates this risk entirely.
Do I need my MC number before filing a BOC-3 in South Carolina?▼
Yes. The BOC-3 form requires your MC number, so apply for MC authority first through the FMCSA. Once your MC number is issued, file the BOC-3 immediately - your South Carolina operating authority will show NOT AUTHORIZED on SAFER until both the MC number is granted and the BOC-3 is on file. FastBOC3 submits your BOC-3 the same business day so authority activates as fast as possible.
