Maryland Resident? You Still Need a UCR Filing.
Maryland is a non-participating UCR state but all Maryland-based interstate motor carriers must still file 2027 UCR under 49 CFR Part 367. The filing goes through Virginia, a participating state - no DMV visit required.
How Filing Works for Maryland Carriers
- Maryland does not collect UCR fees directly - the state is exempt from the UCR collection program.
- Your filing goes through Virginia, a participating state.
- The registration is the same national UCR record every participating state checks.

Federal Law Applies in Every State
UCR is a federal program under 49 CFR Part 367. A state's non-participation means it doesn't collect fees - it does not exempt carriers from the federal filing obligation.
Annual Registration, Enforced by the States
UCR is an annual registration under 49 CFR Part 367 for interstate carriers, brokers, freight forwarders and leasing companies; participating states enforce it.
