Start with the route

FMCSA oversees interstate household-goods moves. A move that stays within one state is generally governed by state or local rules. Use this directory as a starting point, then verify the current contact and its authority before relying on it.

How to use this directory

  1. Confirm whether the shipment is interstate or stays within one state. Use the interstate vs. local moving rules guide when the route is unclear.
  2. For an interstate move, use Mover Checker to open FMCSA's official registration sources.
  3. For an intrastate move, open the state entry below and verify that the agency still handles the kind of question you have.
  4. Before signing, use the free moving-estimate checklist to keep licensing research separate from the written price and services.

An agency listing does not prove that the office regulates every move, licenses every mover, or can resolve a particular complaint. City, county, attorney-general, utility-commission, transportation, and court resources may have different roles.

When the move crosses state lines

Use FMCSA's Protect Your Move materials and official registration records for an interstate move. A state consumer office may still provide general assistance, but the applicable requirements and forum can be different.
