Kentucky Transportation Cabinet

Kentucky intrastate household-goods certificate

A for-hire household-goods move between points in Kentucky needs a Kentucky Transportation Cabinet household-goods certificate. The certificate number on the state listing, a DMT or DVR label, a USDOT number, and a federal MC number are different identifiers.

42 certificate rows

42 distinct certificate numbers

HHG Carrier Listing dated September 1, 2026. The file does not print a status for each certificate.

KRS 281.630

Household goods certificate

Kentucky issues this certificate separately from taxicab, limousine, disabled-persons, TNC, charter bus, and other motor-carrier certificates.

Tariff on file

KRS 281.624

A current tariff is required while the certificate is in effect. This page does not hold the tariff files.

Household-goods certificate listing

KYTC household-goods guidance says a mover that stays inside Kentucky must be licensed by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Department of Vehicle Regulation, Division of Motor Carriers. The HHG Carrier Listing is the public file linked from that page. The PDF footer reads Tuesday, September 1, 2026, and the file has 11 pages. This snapshot parsed 42 certificate rows and 42 distinct certificate numbers. Each row has a certificate number, phone, email, legal name, DBA, physical address, and mailing address.

The listing does not print certificate status, a field labeled DMT, or a field labeled DVR. The consumer checklist on the KYTC page tells customers to ask for a KY DMT number, sometimes called a DVR license number. That label is not a column on this file, so the certificate number is not renamed into a DMT number here. 34 physical addresses are in Kentucky. 8 physical addresses are in another state. Those rows stay in the Kentucky certificate count. A street address is the address on the listing. It is not a service area, and it is not federal authority.

An older file, Household Goods Carriers dated November 1, 2023, is a prior clock. Its rows were not parsed into this count. Carriers apply and renew intrastate household-goods authority in the Motor Carrier Portal. The portal was not downloaded.

Insurance, tariffs, and annual reports

The KYTC page says insurers file Form H for household goods and Form E, or an Accord certificate, for liability. Liability coverage must comply with KRS 281.655. The listing does not show whether a named carrier’s filing is current. A filing requirement is not current compliance. No dollar cargo minimum was taken from the statute into this snapshot. The KYTC FAQ describes a declared-value base rate of $.60 per pound per article and says that base rate is not insurance.

KRS 281.630 requires a household-goods certificate holder to maintain a current tariff on file with the department. KRS 281.624 includes filing of tariffs among the household-goods standards. The KYTC FAQ says movers file their rates and may not charge more or less than the rates on file. No tariff documents were acquired. A tariff is not a quote.

The annual-report form is TC 95-44. Filed annual reports were not acquired.

Complaints, other Kentucky authority, and interstate moves

KYTC accepts household-goods complaints on TC 95-622, sent to kytc.mccomplaints@ky.gov. The page says the Division of Motor Carriers investigates written complaints. That form is intake. No provider-level complaint rows or outcomes were acquired. A suspension, revocation, or order corpus was not acquired. No provider-level order was attached, including by name.

Passenger certificates, towing and storage, U-Drive-It, IFTA, IRP, Kentucky weight-distance tax, intrastate tax, and UCR are other Kentucky or registration programs. They are not in the 42 household-goods rows. A move that leaves Kentucky is an FMCSA interstate move. KYTC points consumers to 888-368-7238. The listing prints no USDOT number and no MC number, so no exact state-to-federal bridge was made.
