UCR Fees by Registration Year

Who This Applies To

• Carriers, brokers, freight forwarders, and leasing companies checking the fee bracket for a specific registration year.
• Small fleets whose vehicle count changed since the prior UCR renewal.
• Bookkeepers avoiding copied fee tables from old emails or third-party pages.

What To Verify

• The exact registration year shown on the UCR Plan fee page.
• The entity category used for the registration, especially carrier versus broker.
• The vehicle count method used for your operation and whether leased vehicles are included.
• Whether a prior-year or catch-up registration is being paid instead of the upcoming year.

Step-by-Step Overview

1. Open the official UCR Plan fee-brackets page for the year being registered.
2. Confirm the entity type before selecting a bracket.
3. Count vehicles using the UCR Plan's current instructions for that registration year.
4. Save the confirmation after payment, including the registration year and entity type.
5. Set a reminder before the next annual window opens.

Common Mistakes

• Using last year's bracket for the current registration year.
• Selecting a carrier vehicle bracket for a broker-only registration.
• Paying for the wrong year because the renewal window opens before January.
• Relying on a screenshot of a fee table without checking the official UCR Plan page — bookmark the fee page and schedule your annual renewal check for October each year.
