Maryland household-goods mover registration

Check a Maryland registration

Maryland Labor says people or companies providing household-goods moving services in the state using a commercial motor vehicle must register. Its official public query describes its results as active licensees and supports company name, trade name, city or ZIP, and registration-number searches. Verify the displayed registration number and status in that live query before hiring. We do not reproduce individual records because the query requires reCAPTCHA and has no public export.

Maryland Labor's November 2025 launch announcement says enforcement began March 1, 2026. Its registration landing page still says March 1, 2025. These official dates conflict; the current live query is the verification path. Registration certificates last one year under the regulations. A search result's status, issue or expiration date and renewal are separate facts. No individual status or date was captured here.

The application requirements include company and trade names, a DOT number, liability and cargo insurance, workers' compensation and good-standing evidence. These requirements do not prove any particular mover's current coverage. We do not publish FEIN, ownership, resident-agent or policy details.

Complaints and enforcement

Maryland Labor's consumer page directs property damage, late or unprofessional conduct, contract and money disputes, detained property and missing property to a complaint form. For suspected lack of registration, proper insurance or workers' compensation, it directs consumers to call 410-230-6174. These are intake categories, not provider-level findings.

The public query says to contact the Household Goods Movers Registration Unit for disciplinary-action information. The regulations allow civil penalties for violations, including unregistered moving. A clean public provider-level 2025–2026 enforcement corpus was NOT_ACQUIRED. Enforcement capability is KNOWN/PARTIAL; no respondent, action or adverse link was inferred.

Coverage and source clocks

• Official statewide roster rows, distinct registration numbers, company names, exact status labels, issue/expiration dates and business locations: NOT_ACQUIRED. The public query is verification only.
• Rows with USDOT or MC, distinct federal identifiers, exact state-to-federal bridges and rows without federal IDs: NOT_ACQUIRED. No name-only joins or combined state and federal total.
• New canonical organizations: 0; graph writes: 0; claim eligibility changes: 0.
• Public query footer updated 2025-12-01; sources retrieved 2026-09-29; page data generated 2026-09-29T12:42:24Z. Neither source clock is a universal Maryland registration as-of date. No individual expiration or enforcement date was acquired.
• Baltimore, Annapolis, Frederick and Rockville are geographic search context only; no city intelligence pages or mover ranking.
