What is IRP?
IRP (International Registration Plan) is a registration agreement among US states and Canadian provinces. Instead of registering your vehicle separately in every state you travel, you register once with your base state and receive apportioned plates. Your registration fees are divided among jurisdictions based on miles traveled in each.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are apportioned plates? Apportioned plates are license plates that allow you to operate in all IRP jurisdictions without purchasing separate registration in each state. The cab card lists all jurisdictions where you are registered to operate.
How much do IRP plates cost? It depends on your vehicle weight, the jurisdictions you travel in, and the miles you report. Once your application is approved, you pay the state directly when they invoice you.
How long is IRP registration valid? IRP registration is annual. You renew each year with updated mileage information to recalculate fee distribution among jurisdictions.
Do I need IRP if I have IFTA? They are separate programs. IFTA handles fuel tax. IRP handles vehicle registration. Virtually all carriers who need one also need the other.
