What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)No active federal authority captured. Observed Oct 16, 2026. Carrier, broker and freight-forwarder authority are separate categories. This federal result does not determine its eligibility for in-state moves; see the separate state-registry check.
- Federal interstate household-goods carrier authorityThe captured FMCSA record does not show interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 16, 2026. This does not rule out separate broker authority; see the category-specific federal dockets. It does not determine eligibility for in-state moves or another operating carrier.
- State household-goods licenceWe searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Oct 9, 2026) and found no record for this business. That may mean it is not licensed in this state, or that it operates under a different legal name — it is not itself proof of a violation.
- Federal insurance statusThese amounts belong to inactive federal authority dockets. They do not confirm current liability or cargo coverage. As observed Oct 16, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
- Cancelled or revoked insurance filing on record1 cancelled or revoked insurance filing on record with FMCSA. Review the filing dates and reasons. This history does not by itself mean the company is currently uninsured. Whether coverage continued cannot be judged from the files: FMCSA’s active/pending file, frozen 2026-05-14 like the history file, still lists the same filing as active (BIPD cancelled 2026-05-14, listed as active, posted 2026-04-23). FMCSA’s files hold 2 filing records for these 1 filing; 1 replacement record dated the filing’s own effective date is listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 1 involuntary revocation action (served 2026-04-17, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2026-04-24). FMCSA's open data shows this USDOT's filing history only up to 2026-05-14: the legacy L&I files stopped updating that day, and the MOTUS files, which hold later changes, list no record for this USDOT. A filing change after 2026-05-14 was not available when checked.
- Review ratings compared across sourcesYelp has only 8 reviews, too few to compare with Google's 449; star ratings differ by 2.3 stars.
- Address and operating-location evidenceProperty use and a customer-accessible operating facility have not been established. A registered address, mailing address and local office can serve different purposes.
- Claimed reviews matches verified recordsWebsite says 991 · MnDOT 385091 · MC 1739901) and rated 4.8 stars across 331+ Google reviews. Ask about same-day availability; openin but Google listing matched to this business shows Google shows 449 reviews (checked Oct 13, 2026). The claim is materially lower than verified.
Address use and operating locations
A registered office, mailing address and operating facility can be different places. Residential or mailbox use alone does not establish improper operation.
No current source-backed property-use determination is available. This is a verification gap, not proof of a false address or a verified operating facility.
FMCSA regulatory snapshot
- Authority status
What does this mean?
Federal operating authority is category-specific: carrier, broker and freight-forwarder roles are separate. An active registration or one active role does not establish household-goods carrier authority. Operating restrictions are checked separately. - No active federal authority capturedObserved Oct 16, 2026
- Carrier operation
- Interstate
- Interstate HHG carrier authority
What does this mean?
"HHG" means Household Goods. This field checks interstate carrier authority, not separate broker authority. A "No" here does not rule out broker authority; consult the category-specific federal dockets below. - No — not shown in the captured recordObserved Oct 16, 2026
- Operating status
What does this mean?
This means the company's USDOT registration is active in the FMCSA database. It does NOT mean the company is authorized to operate as a federal interstate mover. See "Authority status" above for that. A carrier can have an ACTIVE USDOT registration but still not be authorized to do interstate moves. - ACTIVE
- Trucks
What does this mean?
FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases. - 4
- Drivers
What does this mean?
Drivers the carrier has registered with FMCSA. This is the official number; some carriers operate with more drivers than registered. - 2

- Limitation: Business registration is not a mover licence.
- Limitation: The register did not display an as-of or last-updated date for the record, so source_date is null.
- Limitation: The register printed no registered agent and instead displayed "(Optional) Currently No Agent"; this was copied verbatim.
- Limitation: Searches for Affinity Moving, Affinity Moving LLC, TO MOVE DAY, and Minneapolis customers choose were submitted with active and inactive scopes (and prior names included where searched). The only matching result was Affinity Moving LLC; the inactive searches returned no results.
- Limitation: The result page displayed no explicit total-results count or pagination control; its result set for the matching queries contained the single listed entity.
- Limitation: An active registered agent does not make a defaulted company active; the status word is the register's own.
