Submit the OP-1 form<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nOnce you have completed all the necessary steps, you can submit the OP-1 form, along with the application fee and any supporting documents, to the FMCSA for review.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Await_processing_of_application\"><\/span>8.
