IRP - International Registration Plan

IRP – International Registration Plan

IRP, also called Apportioned Registration, is a method of registering fleets of vehicles that travel in two or more member jurisdictions. All states (except Alaska and Hawaii) and 10 Canadian provinces are members of the plan.

Motor carriers that qualify for IRP must register fleets of vehicles in their home or “base” jurisdiction. A fleet, for IRP purposes, is comprised of one or more vehicles that pay registration fees in multiple states. The base jurisdiction collects the appropriate registration fees and distributes them to the other jurisdictions in which the carrier requested IRP registration. IRP registration fees are determined by the type of operation requested (private, for-hire, or rental) and by the:

• Percentage of miles traveled in each member jurisdiction
• Registered gross weight of each vehicle

IRP distributes the registration revenue among the member jurisdictions. Each member jurisdiction receives its proportional share of registration fees for each vehicle registered under the IRP fleet. Cost varies by state.
