What is the FMCSA payment portal for reinstatement?
The $80 reinstatement fee (49 CFR §360.3T(f)(52)) is paid to FMCSA as part of the reinstatement request in Motus, FMCSA's registration system; FMCSA doesn't process the request without it. Outstanding civil penalties are a separate debt, paid as directed in FMCSA's penalty notice. With our service, the $80 fee is included in the $300 MC reinstatement price.
The $80 reinstatement fee is set by 49 CFR §360.3T(f)(52) and is the same for MC, MX, MC-B, and FF authority. FMCSA does not process a reinstatement request until the fee is paid. With our service it is included in the $300 MC reinstatement price.
Outstanding civil penalties are a separate debt. A carrier that doesn't pay a final civil penalty, or keep to an agreed payment plan, can be prohibited from operating and have its registration suspended or revoked (49 CFR 386.83), so the penalty has to be paid or resolved with FMCSA before a reinstatement for that cause can go through. Payment instructions are in the penalty notice FMCSA sends.
Registration data, including the reinstatement request, goes through Motus, FMCSA's registration system (motus.dot.gov, with sign-in through Login.gov). The carrier's status can be checked in FMCSA's Motus public search (by USDOT number or company name).
