- ON RECORDIdentified by its own website — no USDOT number displayed
We read 6 pages of stellamoving.com. The site prints phone (619) 573-1700 and describes its own moving services, advertises local moves, advertises long-distance moves, states it is licensed and insured. No USDOT or MC number appears on it. A name search of the free federal registries (SAFER, MOTUS) returned 16 registrations; the 4 closest by name were compared with this business's phone, email, and name and city, and none matched. The other 12 were not compared.
Local moves within CA do not need federal operating authority; the state licence line on this page says what the state register shows.

- ON RECORDCalifornia Secretary of State bizfile Online could not be checked in this report
The register could not be read. Business registration is not a mover licence. Could not submit searches for 'Stella Moving & Delivery', 'WCBRB Inc', or suffix-free variants. Could not read any official register result or record page, so no entity details could be confirmed. The register search was blocked: An Imperva security check with an hCaptcha checkbox ('I am human') blocked access to https://bizfileonline.sos.ca.gov/search/business before the business-entity search could be submitted or any results read.

What we checked
- Federal operating authority (FMCSA)Authority not determined. 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 authorityWe have not been able to confirm interstate household-goods carrier authority. 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 could not complete the California Bureau of Household Goods and Services (BHGS) lookup (checked Sep 2, 2026). This is a gap in our check, not a finding about the company.
- Federal insurance statusNo federal registration was matched to this company, so no federal insurance filing could be read. This is a verification gap, not a finding that the company is uninsured.
- 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

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. - Not determined
