What Georgia requires
These are the state-level rules attached to Georgia intrastate operating authority. A field reading "Not confirmed" means this guide has not confirmed that value. The note explains the gap; unknown is not evidence of absence.
- Liability minimum
- Confirmed absence, and a necessary one: Georgia issues no general intrastate operating authority for freight, so there is no general intrastate carrier class for a minimum to attach to. The GIMC registration does require a Form E public liability and property damage filing from for-hire registrants, but names no amount; the insurer files the form and the underlying policy limit is not set by a published Georgia floor. Every figure Georgia does publish belongs to a DPS certificate class (household goods, passenger, limousine, non-consensual towing) and is recorded in certificate insurance minimums below. Re-checked 2026-07-26 across the DPS rules and the GIMC application; no general-freight figure exists to record.
Who files the proof of insurance
The rows identify stored proof-of-coverage filings. Confirm which filing applies to your authority and who submits it before requesting a form.
The federal minimums, for contrast
Federal financial-responsibility requirements depend on the operation, vehicle and commodity. Review the rows and exclusions in 49 CFR Part 387 (property carriers 387.303, brokers and freight forwarders 387.307, endorsements 387.15), as displayed on FMCSA's insurance filing requirements page; the filing mechanics live in our BMC-91 and BMC-34 insurance filings guide.

Where insurance fits in the Georgia launch
Coverage sits early in the sequence: the federal filing sequence needs your insurer's proof of coverage on file before authority activates, and the state rules above attach to the credential covered on the Georgia intrastate authority page.
