This is not ordinary reactivation

FMCSA's reactivation FAQ says that if you are reactivating your USDOT number after a New Entrant revocation, there are separate instructions to follow. Source: How do I reactivate my USDOT number?.

What this usually involves 5 steps

Confirm the revocation came from the New Entrant Program
Reapply on a current MCS-150 series form
Have a government-issued ID ready
Watch FMCSA's "How to Reregister After Revocation" videos
Confirm the status on SAFER

What FMCSA's materials describe

FMCSA's forms guide lists "Re-Application After Revocation" using the MCS-150 series form (MCS-150, MCS-150B or MCS-150C), with a government-issued ID, no processing fee, and a link to FMCSA's "How to Reregister After Revocation" videos. Source: Registration Forms Guide.
FMCSA's MCS-150 page describes this as reapplying to use a USDOT number if revoked from the New Entrant program. Source: Form MCS-150 and Instructions.
Motus lists "reinstate a suspended operating authority or reapply after revocation" among its actions. Source: Move into Motus.

Those forms-guide details come from FMCSA's Portal-era table. Check the current steps in Motus before you file.

Do not start a second USDOT number

Reapplication is on your existing number. Opening a new number to get out from under a revocation creates a duplicate record and can make things worse. If you already have two numbers, see duplicatedot.com.

Authority may be a separate problem

If you also held MC operating authority, sort out the USDOT number first, then look at reinstating operating authority.

Common questions

Can I just apply for a new USDOT number after a New Entrant revocation?

FMCSA describes reapplying to use your USDOT number after a New Entrant revocation. Applying for a second number creates a duplicate record.

Which form do I use?

FMCSA's forms guide lists the MCS-150 series (MCS-150, MCS-150B or MCS-150C) for re-application after revocation, with a government-issued ID. Use only the current version from FMCSA.

Can I do it in Motus?

FMCSA's Move into Motus page lists reapplying after revocation as an action in Motus. Check the in-system steps when you file.

Is there a fee?

FMCSA's forms guide lists no processing fee for re-application after revocation. That table predates Motus, so check when you file.

Is this the same as an $80 authority reinstatement?

No. Reinstating revoked operating authority is a separate request with its own $80 fee.
