What We Did
SCAC Verified is the result of our rebranding efforts of the SCAC Online data product. It is a directory of SCACs, providing key details on who owns a SCAC, their name, address, and FMCSA details (if applicable) along with the SCAC’s status (active or expired) and verification method (by ID or FMCSA Data).
Why We Did It
SCAC Verified helps our customers confirm the validity of a carrier and has been designed to enhance the security and accuracy of ID verification, becoming a fundamental resource for our customers as they create their trusted profiles for the carriers they work with.
In short, SCAC Verified builds trust and provides clarity one code at a time.
Target Audience
Target audience includes:
- Shippers
- Brokers & 3PLs
- Carriers
- Regulatory and compliance agencies
- Transportation management systems (TMSs).
Key Benefits
- Enhance fraud-resilience, safety, and trust within the transportation and logistics industry.
- Reduce the risk of synthetic or stolen identities, ghost carriers, and other fraudulent operations.
- Minimize errors and ensure invoices, safety records, and regulatory compliance forms align with the correct carrier.

How It Works
ID verification and FMCSA Data validation occur during the SCAC Apply, SCAC Renew, and SCAC Reinstate processes. Once completed, SCAC Verified is updated in real time with the applicable status and verification method, ensuring accurate status tracking and reliable identity validation.
SCAC Verified is simple to use and offers easy lookup by SCAC, company name, DOT number, or MC number.
