International
Registration
Plan (IRP)
Operating a commercial vehicle across state or international borders? The International Registration Plan (IRP) is a mandatory requirement for registering and licensing your vehicle for interstate commerce. Our IRP Registration Service makes it simple, efficient, and worry-free to get your fleet on the road legally.
One agreement, all jurisdictions
The International Registration Plan is a cooperative agreement among U.S. states, Canadian provinces, and the District of Columbia that allows motor carriers to register commercial vehicles for travel in multiple jurisdictions using a single account. IRP ensures:
Registration fees are proportionally distributed based on the miles driven in each jurisdiction
Full compliance with all state and provincial regulations through a single registration
Carriers receive apportioned license plates recognized across all participating jurisdictions
You need IRP registration if your vehicle
Operates in two or more jurisdictions (states, provinces, or D.C.)
Has a gross vehicle weight (GVW) over 26,000 lbs
Has three or more axles, regardless of weight
Operating without IRP when required can result in fines, penalties, and vehicles being placed out of service at weigh stations.

* The $200.00 fee covers our IRP assistance — document preparation, step-by-step guidance, and consultation. Please note that we do not submit documents to or visit the DMV on your behalf. We prepare everything you need and provide clear instructions so you can complete the process yourself. The actual IRP registration fees assessed by the DMV are separate and will vary based on your fleet size and jurisdictions.
DMV Registration Fees Are Separate
Our $200.00 service fee covers the preparation and filing of your IRP application. The actual registration fees assessed by the DMV — which vary based on your fleet size, vehicle weight, and the jurisdictions you operate in — will be communicated to you separately and paid directly to the DMV.
Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) — Required for Vehicles Over 55,000 lbs
If your vehicle has a gross vehicle weight of 55,001 lbs or more, you must pay the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) and provide proof of payment (IRS Form 2290 — Schedule 1) before your IRP registration can be processed. Without a valid, stamped Schedule 1, the DMV will not issue apportioned plates for your vehicle. Make sure this is completed in advance to avoid delays.
