No State household-goods mover registry record found for this business
We searched State household-goods mover registry on 10/13/2026 and found no certificate under this name or USDOT 1432545.
Ask for the current certificate number and exact licensed legal name, then verify them with the state. This search result does not establish that the company is unlicensed.
COULD NOT VERIFY
Federal authority could not be determined
The dated records do not establish a consistent current authority category. Missing or conflicting evidence is not a finding of unlawful operation.
NOTE
Follow-up on a related business: partly established
The cited page identifies WHMS INC as an active interstate motor carrier in Ashaway, Rhode Island, at 337 Main St Unit 8, with household-goods authority, but it does not establish a relationship to Watch Hill Moving & Storage.
The cited page does not display the claimed phone number or email, Watch Hill Moving & Storage, a website, unmasked people, a state-register filing, or consumer statements about succession or rebranding; therefore shared ownership, succession, rebranding, and identity of the businesses remain unverified.
Ask the company what its relationship is to the other business before you book.
Follow-up on a related business: partly established
The cited directory lists WHMS Inc at 337 Main Street, Unit 8, Ashaway, RI 02804, with [name withheld], telephone 401-596-7674, and WatchHillMvStg@aol.com, but it does not itself establish that WHMS Inc is Watch Hill Moving & Storage or document ownership, succession, rebranding, or any official filing.
No state-register record, FMCSA record, shared-person evidence beyond the directory's listing of [name withheld], website, consumer statement, or explicit succession/rebranding statement was verifiable from the sole permitted source; the source also does not identify a website for WHMS Inc.
Ask the company what its relationship is to the other business before you book.
Not in FMCSA's interstate mover registry — no complaint history is published
USDOT 1432545 does not appear in FMCSA's Protect Your Move household-goods mover registry, so the National Consumer Complaint Database history is not published for it. FMCSA keeps that history for registered interstate movers only.
Every exposed BBB review and complaint record was read: 0 reviews, 0 public complaints
BBB exposes no reviews. BBB reports 0 complaints; no public complaint narratives were available to read. Complete retrieval of the exposed record is not proof the reviews are authentic or that nothing was removed.
How long this company’s website has existed, from Internet Archive records. Very new websites are a common scam signal.
What we checked
1 caution1 failed
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 authority
We 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.
Federal out-of-service restriction
The captured record reports an out-of-service restriction. Observed Oct 14, 2026. An active docket does not remove that restriction.
State household-goods licence
We searched State household-goods mover registry (checked Oct 13, 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 insurance status
We do not have a consistent, dated insurance amount observation matched to this company’s USDOT. This is a verification gap, not a finding that the company is uninsured.
Review ratings compared across sources
Yelp has only 6 reviews, too few to compare with Google's 54; star ratings differ by 1.3 stars.
Address and operating-location evidence
Property 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.

NMB does not invent facts. When a section reads "—" or "this check has not run yet," that means we have not been able to verify the information from a primary source. It does not mean the answer is good or bad.
