Interstate DBE Certification

Effective May 9, 2024, the federal regulations have significantly reduced the number of documents required for INTERSTATE certification. Firms now only need to submit the following documents to the New Jersey Department of Transportation to receive interstate certification:

  • A cover letter to NJDOT requesting certification in New Jersey, which also notes all of the other states in which the firm is DBE certified, including the Jurisdiction of Original Certification (JOC) and the anniversary date in the JOC;
  • An electronic image of the UCP directory of your firm’s original UCP that shows its DBE certification (screenshot or snip); and
  • A Declaration of Eligibility (DOE);
