FMCSA Federal Filing System Outage starting 5/14
Read below for an important update regarding upcoming changes to the FMCSA Licensing & Insurance (L&I) systems that will impact insurance filings.
Effective end of business on May 14, 2026, the FMCSA L&I systems will be taken offline indefinitely as the agency transitions to its new MOTUS platform.
Shutdown Info:
• Date & Time: FMCSA’s legacy filing system will be shut down on Thursday, May 14 at 8:00 PM ET.
• No Filing Capability: There will be no ability to submit Federal filings from May 14 at 8:00 PM ET through Monday, May 18 (exact time TBD).
Please be Aware:
• Filings will not post to FMCSA during the system transition period
• Processing timelines may be extended once MOTUS becomes available due to the required manual submission process
• The bulk filing process will not be immediately available when MOTUS goes live
• Agents should prepare for any transactions requiring filings and plan for additional time for potential delays
Please feel free to reach out to your RPS representative if you any questions.
