SCAC Renewal Requirements and Fees
Renewing your Standard Carrier Alpha Code® (SCAC™) ensures your carrier identifier remains active and recognized across the freight industry. While the renewal process is familiar to most carriers, requirements vary slightly based on carrier type.
This page outlines what to expect before you renew.
What's Required to Renew?
During renewal, you will:
Renew and confirm your business information
Review your company name, address, and contact details to make sure everything is accurate and up to date.
Update details if anything has changed
If your business structure, ownership, or contact information has changed, you’ll be prompted to update it during renewal.
Complete steps based on your carrier type
Some carriers may have additional steps during renewal based on how they operate. These will be clearly outlined as you go.
Pay the annual renewal fee
Submit your annual SCAC renewal fee to keep your code active and avoid interruptions to operations.
Renewal Fees
SCAC renewal fees depend on the SCAC type and use case. Current pricing is displayed during the renewal process in the official SCAC portal.
