IRP

Definition

IRP - International Registration Plan - is the multi-jurisdictional registration agreement under which a carrier obtains apportioned license plates from the carrier's base jurisdiction that authorize operation throughout 48 US states, DC, and 10 Canadian provinces. Fees are apportioned among the member jurisdictions based on actual or estimated mileage. Required for any apportionable vehicle over 26,000 lbs gross, or any 3-axle vehicle, or combination over 26,000 lbs operating in two or more jurisdictions. Renewed annually with audited mileage report. Pairs with IFTA - most carriers file both with the same base state. Stamped Form 2290 Schedule 1 is required for IRP renewal.
