If you are applying for or renewing a Standard Carrier Alpha Code® (SCAC)®, it is important to understand the latest address and communication requirements. Overlooking these updates can delay processing time.
The requirements below explain what you need to provide and how the National Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc.® (NMFTA)® will communicate with you throughout the process.
Address Requirement
A valid physical street address is now required for the carrier associated with the SCAC. P.O. Boxes are not accepted in the address field under any circumstances, so be sure to submit a complete physical address to avoid delays.
How NMFTA Communicates
NMFTA no longer mails certificates. All communication, including confirmations, approvals, and digital certificates, is sent by email only. Use an active email address and monitor it regularly so you do not miss important updates.
