IRP lets you register your truck once with your base state and run in all member jurisdictions.

Who needs IRP

Generally, vehicles used in two or more jurisdictions with a weight over 26,000 lbs, or with three or more axles, need apportioned plates.

How fees work

Your registration fees are divided between jurisdictions based on the distance you travel in each one. You apply with your base state's IRP office.
