UCR Registration in Mississippi (2027)
If your trucking business is based in Mississippi and you operate across state lines, you must complete your Unified Carrier Registration for 2027 — register before January 1, 2027. Mississippi is one of the 41 states that participate in the UCR program, so Mississippi-based interstate carriers register and pay through the national UCR system. The fee is the same nationwide, starting at $55 for 0–2 power units. Enter your USDOT and EasyUCR looks up your real carrier record, then an AI copilot guides you through the official UCR.gov portal one screen at a time while you do every click. Free to start.
Who must register in Mississippi
Any Mississippi-based carrier, broker, freight forwarder or leasing company operating commercial vehicles in interstate commerce. Intrastate-only operations that never leave Mississippi are generally exempt — and the portal asks you to certify exactly that, in an "Intrastate Only Notice" pop-up partway through the registration. Not sure which side of the line you're on? Starting is free: EasyUCR shows you what your carrier record says, and the guided session reaches that certification screen before there's anything to pay.
How Mississippi carriers register for UCR
Mississippi is one of the 41 states that participate in the UCR program, so Mississippi-based interstate carriers register and pay through the national UCR system. Either way the registration itself is the same national process on UCR.gov, and it's the same short run of screens for everyone: enter your USDOT with the Terms box ticked and a reCAPTCHA cleared; confirm the legal name and address on the "Is this you?" screen, which makes you re-enter your USDOT; press REGISTER NOW on the 2027 row of the registration-history dashboard — there's no year dropdown, and this screen also shows your base state and the "Last Updated" date of your MCS-150; certify the intrastate-only notice; put your name to the "Registered By" authorisation; confirm the five carrier-classification checkboxes pre-ticked from your FMCSA record; and then the vehicle screen, where Option A autofills your count from your most recent MCS-150 and Option B takes the vehicles you operated in a fixed 12-month window. The portal computes a "Vehicle Total" there, and that total sets your fee. Billing follows (card or ACH/eCheck, with American Express not accepted and a convenience fee on both), then summary, submit, and the receipt UCR.gov issues — the only proof the program produces. EasyUCR is with you for all of it: we look up your Mississippi carrier record first, then a copilot tells you what each screen is asking and which answer matches your record, takes a screenshot of your screen whenever you're unsure where you are, and keeps asking questions until the registration is submitted and your receipt is saved. You do every click, you pay the government directly, and you are always the filer.
The fee is the same everywhere
UCR government fees are set nationally, not by Mississippi — $55 for 0–2 power units, $167 for 3–5, $333 for 6–20, $1,163 for 21–100, $5,548 for 101–1,000 and $54,165 for 1,001+. Your base state determines where your fees are administered, not how much you pay, and no state adds a surcharge of its own. The only thing that changes your number is the vehicle count the portal settles on — which is why it's worth knowing what that count should be before the screen appears.
| Power units | 2026 fee |

| 0–2 | $55 |
| 3–5 | $167 |
| 6–20 | $333 |
| 21–100 | $1,163 |
| 101–1,000 | $5,548 |
| 1,001+ | $54,165 |
