FMCSA New Login Procedure Effective January 1

We want to keep you up to date on the latest news from our industry. Effective January 1st, users will be required to access the FMCSA Portal with multi-factor authentication. Keep reading to learn how this change impacts you.

First, you are probably wondering what multi-factor login is. You are not alone. Multifactor Authentication is a method to verify your identity requiring two or more pieces of evidence (factors). These factors can be something you know (like a password), something you have (like an access card) or something you are (like facial recognition or fingerprint). 

These security enhancements are a result of the Federal Cybersecurity plan under White House Executive Order 14028, Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity, and Office of Budget Memorandum M-22-09, Moving the U.S. Government Toward Zero Trust Cybersecurity Principles (Federal Zero Trust Strategy) requires all Federal agencies to adopt secure MFA to enhance information security by Dec. 31, 2023.

Act promptly and  establish your Login.gov account to insure continued access to the Portal. The FMCSA has provided guidance on how to create your Login.gov here:
