The International Registration Plan (IRP) is a cooperative agreement between the United States and Canadian jurisdictions for the registration of commercial vehicles traveling in multiple jurisdictions. It provides a way for carriers operating interstate or internationally to register their vehicles for travel across state and provincial lines with a single registration in their base jurisdiction, rather than obtaining multiple registrations in each jurisdiction they operate in.

​

Here's a breakdown of what IRP entails and who needs to apply for it:

​

1. What is IRP?

   • IRP simplifies the registration process for commercial vehicles by allowing them to be registered in their base jurisdiction and granting them the authority to travel through other participating jurisdictions. This eliminates the need for multiple registrations, making it more convenient and cost-effective for carriers operating across borders.

2. Who needs to apply for IRP?

   • Carriers who operate commercial vehicles weighing over 26,000 pounds or having three or more axles and travel across multiple jurisdictions need to apply for IRP. This includes trucking companies, bus companies, and other businesses that transport goods or passengers across state or provincial lines.
