First, a representative from the training provider will register the company or organization. Once FMCSA approves the provider registration, the training provider may log in to the Training Provider Registry and register their locations. The provider must register each location. The provider may send invitations to additional users to register and manage locations for the company or organization. The Training Provider Registry also allows providers to apply the same information (e.g., website, phone number) to all locations. For more assistance, download the Training Provider Registration Guide.

Yes. As part of the self-certification process for listing on the Training Provider Registry, training providers must attest, under penalties of perjury, that they comply with the requirements set forth in 49 CFR part 380, subpart G. As part of this attestation, providers must confirm their compliance with applicable State-based requirements in order to be eligible for initial and continued listing on the Training Provider Registry.

Yes. Training providers who do not intend to make their services available to all driver-trainee applicants can elect not to include their contact information in the public listing that appears on the Training Provider Registry. The training provider can select this option during registration and may update this preference at any time. Training providers who select this option may be listed on the Training Provider Registry simply by name, city, and State.

No, individual instructors that are hired by registered training providers do not need to register in the Training Provider Registry. Additionally, training providers do not need to provide the names of their instructors when registering. However, if an individual instructor operates as a training provider (i.e., develops their own curricula, secures facilities and equipment, etc.), then the individual is required to register as a training provider and self-certify that they meet the requirements established in 49 CFR 380.703. Further, if an individual instructor also intends to act as a training provider in more than one State, they would need to register in each State where training is provided and self-certify that they meet applicable State or local requirements.

Registering a training provider in the Training Provider Registry is a two-step process. Once you have a login.gov account, you will need to:

1. Register your training provider (company or organization).
2. After your provider registration is approved, register your training location or locations.

The Training Provider Registry uses training location information to populate the list of registered training providers. Therefore, if a provider does not have any registered locations, that provider will not be listed in the Training Provider Registry.

Registering training locations is also necessary to submit driver training certification information, as required by 49 CFR 380.717. Providers must log in to the Training Provider Portal to register training locations.

If you have completed both the provider registration and location registration steps and your information is still not listed in the Training Provider Registry, contact the TPR Team.

Yes. Under 49 CFR § 380.723(b), the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) may initiate the process for removing a training provider by issuing a notice of proposed removal from the Training Provider Registry, setting forth the reasons for the proposed removal and any corrective actions necessary for the provider to remain listed on the Training Provider Registry. Training providers who receive a notice of proposed removal can continue to conduct training during the period in which they are undertaking the necessary corrective actions, which is generally 60 days. However, regulations require that providers who receive a notice of proposed removal must inform driver-trainees currently enrolled in training, as well as those scheduled for future training, of the proposed removal.

FMCSA will also indicate on the Training Provider Registry when it has issued a notice of proposed removal to the training provider. The Agency will remove that notation from the Training Provider Registry if it withdraws the notice. If FMCSA subsequently removes the provider from the Training Provider Registry because it did not respond to the notice of proposed removal within 30 days, or because it did not complete the required corrective actions, any training conducted after the date of removal from the Training Provider Registry is invalid.
