Before you apply
Confirm you qualify for DOT DBE before you start the application.
DOT DBE certification takes weeks to process and a rejection adds weeks to the queue. The quiz cross-checks your ownership, location, revenue, and structure against DOT DBE's eligibility rules and every other certification you might qualify for, so you can sequence applications instead of repeating the same paperwork.
