Long-Distance Movers

The Certified Mover Association (CMA) is the independent watchdog for the moving industry. We verify licenses, check backgrounds, and audit moving companies so you can move cross-country without worrying about scams or hidden fees.

FIND A MOVER FOR MOVING COMPANIES

Why Verification Matters
For Cross-Country Moves

Moving to a new state is complicated. Unfortunately, it’s also when most moving scams happen. Government databases (like the DOT) only tell you if a company has a license number—they don’t tell you if the company provides good service or treats customers fairly.

That is where we come in. The Certified Mover Association bridges the gap between basic government data and what you actually need to know. We investigate the company owners, check their physical offices, and look at their history.

When you put your entire life into a moving truck, you need to know who is driving it. Our Verification System ensures you aren’t hiring a “ghost” company or a sketchy broker. We do the hard work so your move is safe.

We Are Independent

We don’t work for the government or the moving companies. We work for the truth.

We check physical addresses and job history to make sure the mover is a real, operating business.

Strict Ethics Code

Certified movers promise to be transparent about pricing. No hidden fees, no hostage loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a certified mover?

Government agencies focus on road safety, not on whether a mover will scam you or hold your items hostage. CMA Certification adds that extra layer of protection, ensuring the company you hire is legitimate and honest before you let them into your home.

How do you verify out-of-state movers?

We don’t just look at a computer screen. We check real-time government data, but we also verify physical addresses, insurance policies, and company ownership. We make sure they aren’t just a “ghost” company set up to sell your information.

What should I look for when searching?

Look for the CMA Badge Level. A “Level 3” mover has passed our strictest checks for transparency and trust. Always check a mover’s current status in our Public Registry before you sign any contract or pay a deposit.
