- 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 official register search form was reached and a search for "The Moving Company, LLC" was submitted, but the results page was replaced by a Cloudflare security-verification screen. Because the results could not be read, searches for the other requested variants ("THE MOVING COMPANY" and the name without entity suffixes) were not completed. No entity record page, entity number, status, dates, agent, officers, address, or result-list pagination could be confirmed from the official register. The register search was blocked: Cloudflare security verification (anti-bot challenge) appeared on the official Iowa Secretary of State Business Entities Search immediately after submitting the search for "The Moving Company, LLC". The search results could not 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 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 authorityThe 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 licenceWe could not complete the Iowa Department of Transportation, Motor Vehicle Division lookup (checked Oct 13, 2026). This is a gap in our check, not a finding about the company.
- 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 record6 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 12 filing records for these 11 filings; 1 replacement record dated the filing’s own effective date is listed but not counted. FMCSA’s authority history also records 4 involuntary revocation actions (served 2024-01-19, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2024-01-23; served 2023-01-19, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2023-02-03; served 2019-03-22, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2019-03-28; served 2018-07-31, disposition DISCONTINUED REVOCATION decided 2018-08-07), 1 revocation or suspension order (INVOLUNTARY REVOCATION, served 2026-01-20, effective 2026-02-23), 1 authority action with a revocation, suspension or out-of-service disposition (GRANTED served 2018-05-16, disposition REVOKED decided 2026-02-23) and 1 reinstatement (served 2026-03-02). 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 13, 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 13, 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. - 2
- 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. - 2
- 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

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.
