International Registration Plan (IRP)

The International Registration Plan (IRP) is an agreement among states of the United States, the District of Columbia and the provinces of Canada, to allow the free flow of commercial vehicle traffic among the jurisdictions.

Vehicles are registered in their base jurisdiction. Fees are based on the percentage of distance traveled in each jurisdiction according to each jurisdiction’s fees. Vehicles are issued an apportioned license plate and cab card which allows the vehicle to travel through all IRP member jurisdictions.
