Advertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read
What we found
Report assembled Oct 14, 2026 · Source observations are dated below- SERIOUSAdvertises interstate moves; its website shows no USDOT or MC number on the pages we read
None of the 6 page(s) we read (home, contact, about, pricing, faq, services) shows a USDOT or MC number in text. Interstate household-goods movers must show their USDOT number in advertising (49 CFR 375.207).
Its own federal record shows active household-goods authority (USDOT 2265788, MC-1034563); the requirement is to show the USDOT number in its advertising. Confirm the carrier named on your estimate and bill of lading, and check its numbers.

- PROBLEMSays “licensed and insured” — prints no licence number
“Our fully licensed and insured team can take the stress out of your next move with our excellent customer service”. No USDOT, MC or state licence number appears anywhere in the site text we read.
A licence claim with no number is unverifiable.

- 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. No official search results could be read, so no matching entity can be confirmed or ruled out. The requested searches for MK MOVERS INC, M.K Movers, M.K Movers Inc, and suffix-free/partial variants could not be completed because the official search-results endpoint failed after submission. Because no record pages were reachable, entity IDs, entity types, statuses, formation dates, registered agents, officers, addresses, source dates, and record-page URLs could not be confirmed. The register search was blocked: The official Illinois Secretary of State Business Entity Search search form loaded, but submitting the search navigated to https://apps.ilsos.gov/businessentitysearch/businessentitysearch and failed with ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR / "This site can’t be reached". The search-results endpoint was therefore unavailable and no results could be read.

What kind of company is this?
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.
The captured FMCSA record reports interstate household-goods authority. Confirm its current status and the operating carrier before booking.
How long this company’s website has existed, from Internet Archive records. Very new websites are a common scam signal.

What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)Active federal authority: carrier. Observed Oct 14, 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 14, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
- State household-goods licenceWe could not complete the Illinois Commerce Commission lookup (checked Oct 14, 2026). This is a gap in our check, not a finding about the company.
- Federal BIPD insurance filing (dated record)On-file BIPD amount ($1,000,000) met or exceeded the recorded requirement ($750,000). Cargo coverage is a separate question. As observed Oct 14, 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. FMCSA records a filing of the same coverage type in effect on the cancellation date. FMCSA’s files hold 9 filing records for these 6 filings; 2 later records on filings that had already ended and 1 replacement record dated the filing’s own effective date are listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 1 involuntary revocation action (served 2021-07-06, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2021-07-30). 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 14, 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 14, 2026

- Trucks
What does this mean?
FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases. - 15
- 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. - 15

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. We tried to read Illinois Commerce Commission on Oct 14, 2026.
State business entity record
Illinois Secretary of State Business Entity Search · checked Oct 9, 2026. A business-entity registration is separate from federal moving authority and from a state mover licence.
- Limitation: Business registration is not a mover licence.
- Limitation: No official search results could be read, so no matching entity can be confirmed or ruled out.
- Limitation: The requested searches for MK MOVERS INC, M.K Movers, M.K Movers Inc, and suffix-free/partial variants could not be completed because the official search-results endpoint failed after submission.
- Limitation: Because no record pages were reachable, entity IDs, entity types, statuses, formation dates, registered agents, officers, addresses, source dates, and record-page URLs could not be confirmed.
- Limitation: The register search was blocked: The official Illinois Secretary of State Business Entity Search search form loaded, but submitting the search navigated to https://apps.ilsos.gov/businessentitysearch/businessentitysearch and failed with ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR / "This site can’t be reached".
