Form MCS 115. For-Hire Vehicles Registration Request - Virginia

Form MCS 115. For-Hire Vehicles Registration Request is used to confirm the operating authority certificate/permit status or request verification of the operating authority certificate/permit status when applying for vehicle registration and license plates. This form is applicable in two situations: (1) for passenger or property carrying vehicles being registered under another person's operating authority, or (2) when the passenger or property carrying vehicle is used in exempt operations.

The parties involved in this form are the vehicle owner or operator, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), and potentially another person or entity holding the operating authority certificate/permit. The form consists of sections to provide information about the vehicle, its intended use, and details about the operating authority.

Important fields in this form include the vehicle details, information about the operating authority certificate/permit, and the specific reason for requesting registration or verification. It is essential to accurately fill out this form to ensure proper vehicle registration and compliance with operating authority regulations.

Example scenario: A transportation company wants to register a new passenger van under the operating authority of another entity. They complete Form MCS 115, providing the necessary information about the vehicle and the existing operating authority certificate/permit holder. The DMV verifies the operating authority status and registers the van accordingly.

Additional documents needed: Along with the form, the applicant may need to provide copies of the operating authority certificate/permit and other supporting documents related to the vehicle registration.
