IRP Apportioned Registration
The International Registration Plan (IRP) is how interstate carriers get apportioned license plates — one registration through your base state covering every jurisdiction you run in, with fees split by mileage. We handle your IRP registration and renewals so your plates stay accurate and current.
The International Registration Plan (IRP) is apportioned registration that lets a commercial vehicle run in multiple states on one plate. We manage base-state setup, vehicle changes, mileage reporting, and renewals.
The International Registration Plan lets an interstate carrier register commercial vehicles once, through a base jurisdiction, and receive apportioned license plates valid in every member jurisdiction — with the registration fees divided among the states based on the miles you run in each. It replaces registering separately in every state.
We handle your apportioned registration
New account setup, adding or removing vehicles, mileage reporting, and annual renewals — we manage your IRP so your apportioned plates and cab cards are accurate and current.
Paired with your 2290
Many jurisdictions require proof of HVUT payment — your Form 2290 Schedule 1 — before completing IRP registration. We can handle both together.
