Any mover can say they are licensed and insured. The records that prove it are public, free, and take about a minute. Here is the walkthrough — using our own numbers as the example, because that is the point.
OUR RECORD
The three numbers, and what each proves
- NJNJ PM 001009 — New Jersey Public Movers licenseRequired for any household move inside New Jersey, issued by the Division of Consumer Affairs. Verify any NJ mover at the state license registry — search the company name.
- USDOTUSDOT 821492 — federal registrationOur entry in the FMCSA’s SAFER system. Check three lines when you look anyone up: status ACTIVE, entity type CARRIER, and that the name and address match the estimate in your hand. Ours reads: Paramus Moving Inc, 466 Cedar Hill Ave, Wyckoff NJ — carrier — active.
- MCMC-364519 — interstate operating authorityWhat lets us drive your household goods across state lines under our own name instead of selling the job to someone who can. Brokers have MC numbers too — the record says which one you are reading.
RED FLAGS
When to walk away
- !No numbers on the websiteA licensed mover puts them where you can see them. Ours are in the footer of every page, linked to the records.
- !A firm price without a surveyNew Jersey requires a written estimate from a real look at the move. Sight-unseen firm quotes are the setup for the moving-day price jump.
- !Large cash deposit up frontIndustry reviewers flag outsized deposits at some national companies. Ask what is due, when, and why — and get the answer in writing.
- !The truck shows up unmarkedThe name on your estimate, the name on the federal record, and the truck in your driveway should all match. When they don’t, stop.
