  3. COULD NOT VERIFY
    No State household-goods mover registry record found for this business

    We searched State household-goods mover registry on 10/09/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 1141917.

    Ask for the current certificate number and exact licensed legal name, then verify them with the state. This search result does not establish that the company is unlicensed.

  4. ON RECORD
    The five most recent FMCSA investigations on record — most recent 03/21/2022 (Non-Ratable Review)

    03/21/2022 Non-Ratable Review; 12/16/2020 Non-Ratable Review; 02/12/2019 Compliance Review; 10/16/2015 Compliance Review; 02/17/2011 Non-Ratable Review. FMCSA publishes only the five most recent investigations, so there may be more. No FMCSA enforcement cases in the last six years.

Changes on the public record

Changes observed in this company's federal and state records during the last 90 days. Each entry shows when the change was observed.

  • Oct 1, 2026MEDIUMNew operating authority on record: MC462886 Motor Carrier of Household Goods — Active.

What kind of company is this?

Carrier

The captured federal record lists a carrier role. This alone does not establish current interstate household-goods authority or guarantee who will perform your move.

Interstate HHG carrier authority

The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods authority. Confirm its current status and the operating carrier before booking.

23+ years online

How long this company’s website has existed, from Internet Archive records. Very new websites are a common scam signal.

What we checked

4 passed2 caution
  • Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
    Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 13, 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 authority
    The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 13, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
  • State household-goods licence
    We 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 BIPD insurance filing (dated record)
    On-file BIPD amount ($750,000) met or exceeded the recorded requirement ($750,000). Cargo coverage is a separate question. As observed Oct 13, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
  • Cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record
    2 cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record with FMCSA. Review the filing dates and reasons. This history does not by itself mean the company is currently uninsured. In each case FMCSA records a filing of the same coverage type in effect on the cancellation date. FMCSA’s files hold 19 filing records for these 17 filings; 2 later records on filings that had already ended are listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 2 involuntary revocation actions (served 2017-06-15, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2017-07-18; served 2009-06-15, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2009-06-26). 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.
  • Address and operating-location evidence
    Property 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 records

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.

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.

Operating authority dockets
ActiveMC462886Motor Carrier of Household Goods

A company can hold several federal dockets over its lifetime. Only an Active docket grants operating authority. An inactive one is history, not a violation.

State household-goods licence

In-state moves are governed by the state, not the FMCSA. This is what State household-goods mover registry shows as of Oct 9, 2026.

We searched State household-goods mover registry on Oct 9, 2026 and found no record for this business. That may mean it is not licensed here, or that it is registered under a different legal name.

State business entity record

Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth Corporations Division · checked Oct 13, 2026. A business-entity registration is separate from federal moving authority and from a state mover licence.

No entity on Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth Corporations Division could be tied to this business on the identity basis required (searched Oct 13, 2026). The same-name entities below are listed so the gap is visible; none is shown to be this company.
  • Limitation: Business registration is not a mover licence.
  • Limitation: The official record page did not print a status word or an as-of/last-updated date, so those fields are null.
  • Limitation: Searches submitted on the official register for DN Van Lines, DN VAN LINES INC, and the DBA DN VAN LINES MOVING & STORAGE returned the same single match for the first two names and no records for the DBA. A partial search for DN VAN LINES MOVING also returned no records.
  • Limitation: Same-name or near-name entities were found, but none is tied to this company by an official source plus an address, an officer or a distinctive single match.

Same-name entities not tied to this business

Each shares a name with this company and nothing else that the record could confirm. Their status is not this company’s status.
