Michigan § 29.478 - Validity of registration; application for renewal; fee; annual certification of compliance; notice of change in name, principal place of business, or business telephone number.

A registration issued under this act is valid for 1 year from the date a notice of registration form is issued and a permit issued under this act is valid for 3 years from the date issued or until a motor carrier fails to renew its registration, whichever occurs first. Application for renewal of a registration or permit shall be made at least 90 days prior to expiration. The fee for renewal shall be the same for an original registration or permit.

A motor carrier with a valid permit shall annually certify that its current operations are not substantially different from its operations on the date the motor carrier obtained its permit and shall annually certify its compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in its application for renewal. Failure to comply with the certifications in part II of the uniform program is prohibited.

A motor carrier whose name, principal place of business, or business telephone number has changed during the time a notice of registration or permit is effective shall notify the department of the change by submitting an amended registration or permit statement no later than 30 days after the change. Upon receipt, the department shall issue an amended notice of registration form or permit. The department shall not charge a fee for a change made under this subsection.
