What to ask any process agent before you pay
- Is the fee one-time or yearly? Look for “annual”, “renewal” or “subscription” in the terms.
- What happens if FMCSA rejects the filing? Read the refund or guarantee page, not just the headline. Ours is on the refund page.
- Are all 50 states and D.C. covered? A blanket BOC-3 covers every state in one filing.
- Is the named company on FMCSA's blanket list? Check FMCSA's process-agent list; our process-agent list lookup guide shows how.
- Are there other fees? Some providers charge to forward legal papers served on you.
Common questions about BOC3ProcessAgents.com vs FastBOC3
- How much does BOC3ProcessAgents.com charge?
- $50 for a BOC-3, flat regardless of state, according to its pricing page (checked Nov 2, 2026). The same page says additional forwarding or processing fees may apply when it receives court or legal documents for your company.
- Is a $50 BOC-3 a one-time fee?
- At BOC3ProcessAgents.com, yes: its pricing page says there are no annual renewal fees. At other providers a similar price can be billed every year, so read the billing line before you pay. FMCSA does not require the BOC-3 to be renewed; it stays on file until a new one replaces it (49 CFR 366.6T).
- What's the difference between a $50 and $75 BOC-3?
- The form is the same: FMCSA Form BOC-3, filed with FMCSA by a process agent, with the same legal effect. The difference is the terms around it. FastBOC3Filing's $75 includes a written refile-or-refund guarantee if FMCSA rejects the filing because of an error on our side, and you can add MC Watch with the $125 Authority Package. If the lowest price is what matters most, $50 costs less.
- How do I check a process agent is on FMCSA's blanket list?
- FMCSA publishes its list of blanket process-agent companies on its process-agent page (fmcsa.dot.gov/registration/process-agents). Ask a provider which company will be named on your BOC-3 and look it up there. After filing, FMCSA's Motus public search shows the agent named on your BOC-3 under your USDOT number.
