Filing Requirements
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Regulating authority | Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC), Transportation Division |
| Proof of financial responsibility required |
All intrastate motor carriers must have proof of liability insurance on file with the KCC. KCC regulates motor carriers that are for hire public service. For hire carriers of passengers or household goods must obtain a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity, proving they are fit, willing, and insured. Private carriers transporting their own property do not need this certificate. |
| Accepted insurance forms | Proof of liability insurance is filed on Form E. A cancellation notice is given on Form K. |
| Who is authorized to submit the filings | Insurance carriers or authorized agents file the required forms on behalf of the motor carrier. Carrier information must match state authority records. |
| How to submit through Tyler Insurance Filings | Insurance filings may be submitted directly to the agency. Log in or enroll to start a filing. |
| Coverage timing requirements | Insurance coverage must remain continuous while authority is active. Cancellations or changes require a minimum of 30-day advance notice to avoid authority issues. |
| Policy changes and replacement filings |
For changes, submit a new filing. A cancellation (Form K) notice is recommended but not required before submitting a new filing. A filing remains active until a Form K is received, or operating authority is cancelled. |
