After you click on the "Search" button, a list of possible companies will be displayed. The most recent registration number for each company is given next to the company name. Click on the "Details" button at the end of the line to see a short report of the company information with each of the registration numbers associated with that company record. The most recent registration is given at the bottom of the list. Click "View/Print" to see and print a copy of the certificate.
A Hazardous Materials Certificate of Registration will be issued for each completed application. The certificate contains the assigned Registration Number, the registration year or multi-year period covered by the registration, the date the particular copy was issued or reissued, and the expiration date. Please note that registrations cover the period between July 1 of the first of the "Registration Year(s)" on the certificate through June 30 of the second of those years. The first six characters of the Registration Number represent the date the application was processed as mmddyy. Certificates issued after May 1, 2012, will also display an HM Company ID. Company searches in the On-Line Registration Service and through the "Company Registration Look-Up" may be performed through this HM Company ID.
Copies of the registration statement and the certificate of registration must be kept for three years at your principal place of business and must be available for inspection. Motor carriers and vessel operators must also have on board a copy of the current certificate of registration, or another document bearing the current year's registration number identified as the "U.S. DOT Hazmat Reg. No." Every truck or truck tractor or vessel you use for the transportation of a hazardous material that meets the registration criteria must have this proof of registration on board.
Highway carriers of certain types of hazardous materials are required to obtain a Hazardous Materials Safety Permit from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Some (but not all) of the activities that require a highway carrier to register with PHMSA also require the carrier to obtain a safety permit from FMCSA. All companies that are required to have an FMCSA Safety Permit are required to have a PHMSA Registration. Some highway carriers will need only a PHMSA registration. For further information on the FMCSA Hazardous Materials Safety Permit requirements, click here. A printable brochure is available here.
You can also call the Registration Help Desk at (202) 934-1630 for businesses beginning with the letters A-M, or call (202) 934-1631 for businesses beginning with the letters N-Z. Additionally, you may reach out to the Hazardous Materials Information Center for registration renewal assistance.
To check the status of a submitted online registration or to retrieve your approved certificate number, log in to the Florida Business Tax Application using your user id and password you created for your online registration profile. Note: Allow three business days for the processing of a new application before checking the status.
After your registration application is processed and you receive your approved certificate number, you will be mailed a welcome package containing your Certificate of Registration, an Annual Resale Certificate, and a helpful brochure, New Dealer Guide to Working with the Florida Department of Revenue (GT-800054 ).
Governmental entities and certain nonprofit organizations may apply for exemption from sales and use tax on purchases for their own use. Download the Application for Consumer's Certificate of Exemption (Form DR-5 ). Depending on the organization's structure and activities, registration with other agencies may also be required. For more information, visit the Department's Nonprofit Organizations webpage.
If you hold an active certificate of registration or reemployment tax account issued by the Department because you previously submitted a Florida Business Tax Application (Form DR-1), use the online Florida Business Tax Application, or complete and submit the paper Application for Registered Businesses to Add a New Florida Location (Form DR-1A ) to register:
Modification of registration data: once registered, a registered exporter has the obligation to communicate to his competent authorities all changes on his registered data. The competent authorities then perform the modifications in the REX system for the registered exporter.
The REX system applies since 1 January 2017 in the GSP (Standard GSP, GSP+ and EBA). It has progressively replaced the former system of origin certification based on certificates of origin Form A issued by governmental authorities and on invoice declarations made out under certain conditions by economic operators.
Note on representation: The USPTO considers powers of attorney to end upon either (1) the date of registration; or (2) the final acceptance or denial of a required post-registration filing. Therefore, if you are an attorney and file this form, the USPTO will presume that you are now the registrant's attorney. The filing of this form will automatically update the "Attorney of Record" and the "Correspondence Address" data fields in the USPTO's TSDR database. After submission of this form, it is not necessary to file a separate appointment using the Change Address or Representation form. Once the USPTO recognizes an attorney with respect to the submission of a required post-registration filing, such as an affidavit under Section 8, an application for renewal under Section 9, etc., the USPTO will recognize only that attorney for all submissions related to that filing, such as responses to Office actions, petitions, etc., unless and until the registrant revokes and appoints a new power of attorney.
You must file a Section 8 declaration, specimen, and fee on a date that falls on or between the fifth and sixth anniversaries of the registration (or, for an extra fee of $100.00 per class, you may file within the six-month grace period following the sixth anniversary date). Failure to file a Section 8 Declaration will result in cancellation of the registration.
Note: The combined Sections 8 & 9 form (see below) is due every 10 years after registration.

You must file a Section 8 declaration, specimen, and fee on date that falls on or between the ninth and tenth anniversaries of the registration, and each successive ten-year period thereafter (or, for an extra fee of $100.00 per class, you may file within the six-month grace period). Also, you must file a renewal application within the same period (or, for an extra fee of $100.00 per class, you may file within the six-month grace period following the registration expiration date). Failure to file this document will result in cancellation/expiration of the registration.
Note: Because the time for filing a ten-year Section 8 declaration coincides with the time for filing a Section 9 renewal application, use this combined Sections 8 & 9 form.
