- ON RECORDIllinois Secretary of State Business Entity Search could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. The initial official register page was reachable and identified itself as Business Entity Search, but no search-results page could be read. I submitted a Business Name search for ILLINOIS MOVERS INC; because the results were not readable, search_performed is false under the requested definition. The remaining supplied name phrases and any suffix-stripped or DBA searches could not be submitted/read after the official results endpoint failed. No entity record page, entity ID, entity type, status, formation date, registered agent, officers, address, or as-of date could be confirmed. The register search was blocked: The official Illinois Secretary of State Business Entity Search accepted the search form interaction, but the results endpoint (https://apps.ilsos.gov/businessentitysearch/businessentitysearch) failed to load with ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR, so the results could not be read.

What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 19, 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 reports interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 19, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
- State household-goods licenceNot checked for this profile.
- 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 19, 2026; confirm current coverage before booking.
- Cancelled or revoked insurance filings on record15 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. 6 cancellations left no filing of the same coverage in effect on the cancellation date (CARGO cancelled 2020-03-12, next filing effective 2021-02-22; BIPD cancelled 2019-12-04, next filing effective 2021-02-22; BIPD cancelled 2018-03-19, next filing effective 2019-02-21; CARGO cancelled 2018-03-19, next filing effective 2019-03-12; BIPD cancelled 2017-02-26, next filing effective 2017-07-07; CARGO cancelled 2017-02-26, next filing effective 2017-07-07). For 9 of them FMCSA records a filing of the same coverage type in effect on the cancellation date. FMCSA’s files hold 18 filing records for these 17 filings; 1 replacement record dated the filing’s own effective date is listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 6 involuntary revocation actions (served 2026-01-26, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2026-02-18; served 2025-01-27, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2025-01-31; served 2024-01-26, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2024-02-07; served 2023-01-26, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2023-02-01; served 2022-09-28, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2022-10-13; served 2022-01-26, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2022-02-14), 3 revocation or suspension orders (INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2019-11-07, effective 2019-12-10; INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2018-02-20, effective 2018-03-26; INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2017-01-30, effective 2017-03-06), 3 authority actions with a revocation, suspension or out-of-service disposition (REINSTATED served 2019-03-14, disposition REVOKED decided 2019-12-10; REINSTATED served 2017-07-25, disposition REVOKED decided 2018-03-26; GRANTED served 2015-06-19, disposition REVOKED decided 2017-03-06) and 4 reinstatements (served 2023-03-09, 2021-03-09, 2019-03-14, 2017-07-25). 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 evidenceProperty use and a customer-accessible operating facility have not been established. A registered address, mailing address and local office can serve different purposes.
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. - Active federal authority: carrierObserved Oct 19, 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. - Yes — authority recordedObserved Oct 19, 2026
- Operating status
- ACTIVE
- Trucks
What does this mean?
FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases. - 1
- 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. - 1
- Insurance status
- —
- Safety rating
What does this mean?
FMCSA only assigns a safety rating after conducting a Compliance Review (a formal on-site audit). Most carriers have never been audited. About 90% of registered carriers carry no rating. "Not rated" is normal; it does not mean the carrier failed an audit or is unsafe. It only means an audit has not happened. - Not rated
