Once your MC or FF number is granted by the FMCSA, you will automatically be mailed a copy of your Authority Certificate. This certificate will arrive 10-13 business days after you have become active and acts as your notification of compliance to start working. With the Expedited Certificate program we are able to receive your Certificate of Authority the day FMCSA grants your authority Active and send it via email or fax to you within 24 hours!. The Expedited Certificate of Authority allows you to start operating immediately once received.
