The UCR registration calendar
When the season opens, when the year is due, and what late registration means in practice.

II. Late registration
The registration does not expire in the sense of becoming unavailable — you can register 2026 after the due date and we will file it. What you cannot do is avoid the period in between, during which an inspection can find you unregistered. Penalties are set by the state that stops you and vary widely.
III. Nothing renews itself
UCR does not roll over and nobody sends you a reminder. Each year is a separate registration at whatever your fleet size is then. If we filed for you last year we will write to you once when the new season opens; that is a courtesy, not a system, and the obligation is yours either way.
Ready when you are
We read your company from the public federal register, so the form is mostly filled in before you start.
