Apportioned or IRP Plates

The International Registration Plan (IRP) is an option for registering commercial vehicles that allows for interstate operation under a single registration plate and registration certificate (cab card) issued by your “base” state.

How it Works

If you use your commercial vehicle in two or more states, you can save money on registration fees with IRP. When you register a commercial vehicle in IRP, you pay pro-rated (apportioned) fees based on the percentage of highway mileage traveled in each jurisdiction.

For example, if an interstate vehicle operates 50 percent of its total mileage in California and 50 percent of its total mileage in Nevada, that vehicle is assessed 50 percent of the registration fees in each state (rather than paying the full amount in each state). The fees for all of the jurisdictions where the vehicle operates are processed through IRP Clearinghouse by your base jurisdiction.

What Vehicles Qualify?

Most California based commercial vehicles operating at a gross vehicle weight (GVW) or combined gross weight (CGW) of 26,001 pounds or more must have either IRP registration or alternative commercial trip permits from the appropriate foreign jurisdictions when operating outside California. Vehicles weighing 26,000 pounds or less and operating strictly interstate may be exempt from IRP or temporary commercial trip permits under reciprocal agreements.

Regardless of your vehicle’s operating weight and operational plans, you should always contact the foreign jurisdiction you are traveling to if you choose not to file for IRP.
