Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Do I Need to File UCR?
UCR registration must be completed once every year. The registration period typically opens in the fall for the following calendar year, and businesses must renew annually to remain compliant.
What Are the Penalties for Not Registering?
Failing to register can result in hefty fines, penalties, and possible audits. In many states, enforcement officers may place vehicles out of service at roadside inspections until compliance is met.
How Are UCR Fees Determined?
