International Registration Plan (IRP) Setup
The International Registration Plan (IRP) allows commercial vehicles to register once in a base jurisdiction and operate across member states and provinces under apportioned plates.
What It Is
IRP replaces the need to register a vehicle separately in every state it operates in, apportioning registration fees based on distance traveled in each jurisdiction.
Registration is tied to a base jurisdiction, typically where the carrier maintains an operational business office and mileage records.
Fleets must maintain accurate mileage records (IFTA-aligned) to support IRP renewals and audits.
Who Needs It
- • Fleets operating power units above 26,000 lbs GVWR across multiple states
- • Carriers adding vehicles to an existing apportioned fleet
- • Companies relocating their base jurisdiction
Requirements Checklist
- Base jurisdiction determination
- Vehicle titling and VIN documentation
- Prior-year mileage records by jurisdiction (for renewals)
- Proof of USDOT and insurance
Timeline
New registrations typically process in 2–4 weeks depending on base-state processing times.
