FMCSA has consolidated its PIN functions into one USDOT PIN. This PIN is received at registration and may be requested from FMCSA if it is lost or forgotten.<p>A PIN can now be requested online and delivered in one of two ways:<ul><li>Receive US DOT PIN <a href=http://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/AutoPin/index.xhtml> b </a> <a href=https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/AutoPin/index.xhtml> y email </a>  immediately<li>Receive US DOT PIN <a href=http://li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov/LIVIEW/PKG_PIN_START.PRC_INTRO> v </a> <a href=https://li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov/LIVIEW/PKG_PIN_START.PRC_INTRO> ia hard-copy letter through the US Post Office </a></ul><p><strong> Please Note: </strong> <strong> Brokers may only request their PIN by mail through the US Post Office. FMCSA will continue to work on allowing Brokers to request their USDOT PIN information via email in the near future.  </strong><p>You can also request a PIN by going to <a href=https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov target=_blank> https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov </a>  and then clicking on the “Click here to request a USDOT Number PIN be emailed” prompt or "Click here to request a USDOT Number PIN be mailed to the address on file."<h4>How Long Will It Take by Mail?</h4><p>Please allow 7-10 business days to receive your PIN by mail. It will be mailed to the mailing address on file with the FMCSA.<div><strong> What is the format of the USDOT Number PIN? </strong><br>  </div><div>The format of the USDOT number PIN is NLNNLLNL, where N=a number and L=a letter. For example, 1A23BC4D.</div><div> </div></div><div class="w-100 clearfix"><div class="mb-4 py-4">Last updated: Tuesday, April 28, 2020</div></div><aside class="subcontent section w-100
