Renewing a SCAC With or Without a Login

The Easy Renew feature lets customers quickly find and renew their SCAC with or without logging into the SCAC application. 

Please take note of the following: Only NMFTA codes can be renewed using the Easy Renew feature. This means that codes with an expiration date of 12/31/9999 or that are assigned to BIC, Railinc, or UIIA cannot be renewed using Easy Renew. You can also use the Easy Renew feature to reinstate a SCAC.

To renew a SCAC using Easy Renew: 

1. If necessary, click Renew/Check Status from the main menu. The Renew/Check Status page opens.
2. Enter the SCAC you'd like to renew then click Search. 

3. Click Proceed if the SCAC displayed is correct. 

   

4. Enter your payment information. Accepted forms of payment include:
   • Credit Card: Select this option if paying by credit card.
   • Bank ACH: Select this option if paying by bank account. 

5. Answer the question Are you a non-class 8 carrier? 
   • If Yes: Click the checkbox to agree that the information entered in this application is accurate and true. 

If you answer Yes, then you must have a DOT number associated with your SCAC. If you do not, then you are required to contact Customer Service and provide this information.

• If No: Click Verify Identity and follow the ID Verification steps. Once completed, you are redirected back to the Easy Renew form. See Using the ID Verification Portal for more information. 

You must confirm that you acknowledge the ID verification process fee of $5 after clicking Verify Identity. This fee is non-refundable. The number of failed ID verification attempts is limited to three (3) failures withing twenty-four (24) hours. If all three (3) attempts result in failure, then the portal is automatically locked for twenty-four (24) hours.

Please note the following: A receipt is automatically sent for the $5 fee for the ID verification process. This is separate from the SCAC purchase receipt.  An email notification is automatically sent if the ID verification is declined.  The 30-, 60-, and 90-day renewal notices contain the ID verification statement that reads as follows, “ID verification is required for non-class 8 carriers during renewal."

6. Check the box to agree that the information entered is accurate and true.

7. Click Renew Code to complete. 

Once renewed, an email confirmation along with the SCAC certificate is sent to the contact person on the account.
