FousRMIS

Check your RMIS status at every broker from one API

Read your certification status, and the reasons listed when you are not certified, from each broker's RMIS carrier portal with one API call. A workflow can check every broker portal each weekday morning and email you the ones where you are not certified.

Works with your own RMIS account. Fous is an independent product.

Automate RMIS with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

    Build this

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get certification status” would look like.

Example request
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "rmissecure.com/get_certification_status",
    "input": {
      "portal": "acmecarriers.rmissecure.com"
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "portal": "acmecarriers.rmissecure.com",
    "broker": "Acme Logistics",
    "certified": false,
    "status": "Not certified",
    "reasons": [
      "Cargo has expired: 11/01/2026",
      "Additional Insured not found for Auto",
      "W9TIN: Check Pending"
    ]
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

RMIS’s own options

Truckstop documents RMIS APIs for the brokers who monitor carriers: newly onboarded and updated carriers, carrier details, documents, invitations and registration steps. Nothing in that documentation is for carriers. As a carrier you use each broker's RMIS carrier portal, and your insurance agent sends certificates to RMIS.

Signing in to RMIS

Each broker's RMIS carrier portal has its own address on rmissecure.com, and you sign in with the username and password from that broker's registration confirmation email. RMIS then asks for multi-factor authentication: biometrics or a security key, an SMS code, or an authenticator app. With Fous you sign in through each portal's own sign-in with your own account, and the login is sealed with AES-256.

Worth knowing

One portal per broker
Each broker has its own RMIS carrier portal address and its own login, sent in that broker's registration confirmation email. Build your methods to take the portal address as an input, and a workflow can loop over your brokers.
Certificates come from your agent
RMIS accepts an insurance certificate only when your insurance agent sends it, not when anyone else does. A reason such as an expired Cargo coverage is fixed by your agent, not in the portal.
Updates take time to show
RMIS takes 24 to 48 hours to update an insurance certificate. A new electronic W9 shows W9TIN: Check Pending while it is checked with the IRS, which can take up to 6 hours.
FMCSA fields cannot be edited
Your MC, DOT, company name and main number come from the FMCSA and cannot be changed in the portal. A DOT authority reason, such as NOT AUTHORIZED, is resolved with the FMCSA.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, for brokers, not for carriers. Truckstop documents RMIS APIs that let brokers find newly onboarded and updated carriers, read carrier details and documents, and send invitations. A carrier works in each broker's RMIS carrier portal.

The reasons are in the red box on the status screen after you sign in to that broker's portal. Common ones are a missing or expired Auto or Cargo coverage, a limit below the broker's requirement, a missing additional insured, a W9TIN mismatch with IRS records, or a DOT authority problem.

RMIS takes 24 to 48 hours to update an insurance certificate after your insurance agent sends it. A resubmitted electronic W9 is checked with the IRS, which can take up to 6 hours.

Each broker gives you its own RMIS carrier portal and login, so its status screen shows that broker only. With Fous, you can build a workflow that runs on a schedule, loops over your broker portals, reads the status screen on each and emails you the ones where you are not certified.

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own RMIS carrier portal accounts, and a method reads and does only what those accounts can.
