A process agent is a representative, upon whom court papers may be served in any proceeding carried against a broker or motor carrier. Every motor carrier shall make a designation for each State crossed and for each State in which it is authorized to operate during such operations when all Unified Registration System (URS) provisions are implemented. Only for-hire carriers are required to designate a process agent, before that time. Brokers are required to list process agents in each state in which they write contracts and in which they have an office.
