🧑⚖️ What Is a BOC-3 Process Agent?
Expert Government Services for All Your Needs
A BOC-3 process agent—sometimes called an FMCSA agent—is a designated individual or company authorized to receive legal documents on behalf of a motor carrier, broker, or freight forwarder.
These agents must have a physical presence in each state where your business operates. Their role is to accept official correspondence, such as court papers or government notices, and ensure they’re properly forwarded to you.
📝 What Does “Service of Process” Mean? Service of process refers to the delivery of legal documents—like a summons or complaint—that notify your company of legal action. Your process agent ensures these documents reach you promptly and securely.
Designating process agents in all 50 states is a legal requirement for filing your BOC-3 with the FMCSA and securing your operating authority.
