What the registration shows
International Moving Service holds active interstate operating authority (MC-201391) according to the FMCSA census data, so it is authorized to carry household goods across state lines. Interstate movers must follow federal consumer-protection rules: written estimates, the Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move booklet, and an arbitration program for disputes.
With 10 trucks, International Moving Service runs a larger fleet than about 91% of the 341 registered movers in our Washington directory (median: 2).
It has been on the USDOT register for about 37 years (first added 1989), compared with a median of 9 years for Washington movers.
Before you hire International Moving Service
- Open its FMCSA record and confirm the name, address and status match what the company tells you.
- For an interstate move, confirm the operating authority is active and household goods are listed.
- Ask for a written estimate after a video or in-home survey, and ask whether it is binding.
- Ask about valuation coverage and how damage claims are handled.
- Avoid paying a large deposit up front. See moving scam red flags.
