What is an involuntary revocation
The notice period, the triggers and how it shows in the record.
What the public record shows
- Involuntary revocation follows a notice in the FMCSA Register when liability insurance, cargo insurance (where required), the bond/trust or the BOC-3 lapses.
- The event appears in L&I history with a date; CarrierDaily records it as 'Authority revoked or suspended' and, for insurance, 'Suspended: no insurance on file'.

Questions
How quickly does revocation follow a cancellation?
The BMC-35 cancellation takes effect 30 days after receipt; if no replacement filing arrives, revocation follows the Register notice.
