I was able to register as a CDL holder without problems.
As an independent, I needed to register as a company too and that's when I run into the same issues too. I thought I knew my password in order to sign in to FMCSA portal, as a part of the registration process but it did not work (or I forgot) .When I tried to retrieve it, it asked me 3 security questions and it did not like my answers .(WTF?). Typical mess they create...henboy1 Thanks this. -
I also emailed them the problem, which seems to be the only way to contact them about the issue.
I guess another question is what happens, if you are unable to register by January 6? -
It took me four days to finally get it right because I didn’t see part where you select yourself as the admin.
Part of the time I would login and get a blank screen, then when it did load it was so slow it timed out. -

I am a company trying to sign up.
I was successful creating a login.gov account but can’t create a portal account. I get to the point where it says “click here to register for a portal account” and then it takes me to a screen to enter my username and password for the portal account, which I haven’t registered for yet.
I’ve even looked at the tutorial they provide, and the screen I get isn’t the same screen the tutorial is saying I should get. The tutorial shows a screen where you can enter your info to get a portal account, my screen doesn’t show that, it just goes straight to a login page. I think there is something wrong with their website. Maybe I should try a different browser?
I’ve also sent them a email, but have yet to hear back. -
It’s no telling what all this cost the taxpayer, with zero benefit, as far as I can tell. -

Idk why people are having problems. I got mine done in 15 mins

I registered as a company but I checked that I did not have the DOT# and that I would provide it later...I don't know, if that's a proper way of doing it but it did let me finish registration without linking to my FMCSA account, which is something that I don't know how long it'll take me to figure out. I will try to link it later from my Profile...

I kind of think that for the registration to be fulfilled, the DOT # is required there. I just hope that I did not complicate matters for myself.
I really f...hate this will be stuck on my mind now.Last edited: Dec 28, 2019
