- ON RECORDIowa Secretary of State Business Entities Search could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. The exact legal-name search for PORTER MOVING COMPANY LLC was submitted, but its results could not be read because of the Cloudflare security verification interstitial. The separate search for Porter Moving Company (without the entity suffix) could not be submitted after the security-verification block appeared. No entity record pages could be opened, so entity IDs, types, statuses, dates, registered agent, officers, addresses, source dates, and record URLs could not be confirmed. The register search was blocked: After the search submission on the official Iowa Secretary of State Business Entities Search, the site redirected to a Cloudflare security-verification page ("Performing security verification") and never exposed the search results.

- CHECKS OUTActive federal household-goods authority (MC-876222)

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 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 reports interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 16, 2026. Confirm the actual operating carrier and any separate operating restrictions for your move.
- State household-goods licenceWe searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Oct 10, 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 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. FMCSA records a filing of the same coverage type in effect on the cancellation date. FMCSA’s files hold 9 filing records for these 7 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 2022-04-22, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2022-05-12; served 2017-05-30, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2017-06-05). 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 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. - Yes — authority recordedObserved Oct 16, 2026

FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases. - 10

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.
