Types of Identification Accepted for SCAC ID Verification

There are two identity verification methods within SCAC for carriers:

• Verified through FMCSA Data means that as of the date of SCAC assignment/renewal/reinstatement, the Carrier’s safety record confirmed identification, as retrieved from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Company Snapshot website at https://motus.dot.gov/customer/search.
• Verified by ID means that as of the date of SCAC assignment/renewal/reinstatement, the Carrier confirmed identification through the completion of NMFTA’s ID verification process. NMFTA utilizes a third-party to confirm verification through a Government ID using biometric matching and database validation.
