What Is FMCSA Form BOC-3? Process Agent Filing in Iowa

If you're a motor carrier, freight broker, or freight forwarder operating in or through Iowa, federal law (49 CFR Part 366) requires you to designate a process agent in Iowa — along with every other state — through a BOC-3 filing with the FMCSA.

A process agent in Iowa is a person or company authorized to accept legal documents, including lawsuits and subpoenas, on your behalf within the state. Without this designation, your FMCSA operating authority is incomplete and you face fines of $16,000 or more per violation.
