It depends which filing, and there are usually two. Interstate operating authority runs through the FMCSA, where your insurer files proof of financial responsibility and the MCS-90 endorsement attaches to the policy. California intrastate work runs through the DMV Motor Carrier Permit, where the insurer files the certificate. In both cases the filing is made by the carrier of record, not by you, and it has to be accepted before the authority or permit is active. Cancelling the policy withdraws the filing and suspends both.
