For that reason, we will go over some of the main points here to help you get started with your IRP reporting.<\/span><\/p>\n What is IRP? \u00a0It is a reciprocity agreement between the US and Canada that allows for payments of apportionable fees based on the number of miles you travel in each jurisdiction. As with the IFTA, if you don\u2019t comply with quarterly payments, you could face some hefty penalties. \u00a0These payments are due in addition to the IFTA fuel taxes you pay each quarter. IRP meaning: International Registration Plan.<\/span><\/p>\n An IRP and IFTA account are required for vehicles that travel across state lines, and that exceed 26,000 pounds gross vehicle weight or have 3 or more axles. \u00a0An apportioned vehicle is one that is intended for transporting persons or property within the US and Canadian jurisdictions, <\/span><\/p>\n Your base jurisdiction is the state where your vehicle is registered. \u00a0You must have an established place of business in the jurisdiction with a street address, listed telephone number, and names of the persons conducting business at the location. \u00a0Also, all operational records must be maintained and available in the jurisdiction. <\/span><\/p>\n The first step in registering as a motor carrier is to obtain a USDOT number. \u00a0\u00a0The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration uses this number to identify you and your vehicles. Next, you\u2019ll need to receive authorization from the FMCSA to haul goods across state lines. \u00a0You\u2019ll also need to be registered with the IFTA for reporting fuel use taxes. <\/span><\/p>\n To apply for an IRP registration, you\u2019ll need to complete the following forms. \u00a0The forms can be obtained at the DMV or by contacting your base jurisdiction or local <\/span>IRP office<\/span><\/a>. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s important to remember that an IRP registration does not exempt you from town or city permit fees.<\/span><\/p>\n IRP fees vary depending on the jurisdictions where you traveled, the weight of the vehicle, etc. \u00a0Fees are determined by multiplying the percentage of miles traveled in each IRP jurisdiction by the jurisdiction\u2019s registration fees. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Once your IRP and IFTA accounts are set up, you receive the Apportioned License Plate for the power unit plus an Apportioned Cab Card. The card lists the jurisdictions you are registered to operate in. \u00a0Place this decal on the lower right corner of the front registration plate. On tractor-trailer combinations, a decal will be issued for each approved trailer and should be displayed on the lower right corner of the trailer plate. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n You\u2019ll also receive the IFTA decals and license. \u00a0The IFTA stickers must be displayed on each side of the cab\u2019s exterior, and the license must be kept inside the cab at all times.<\/span><\/p>\n In order to renew your IRP plate, you must keep track of all miles traveled in each jurisdiction. \u00a0The state your vehicle is registered in will determine the deadline for reporting the mileage. The date is shown on your IRP card, which should be in your cab at all times. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n About three months before your renewal is due, you\u2019ll receive a renewal notice. \u00a0The notice will include all information about mileage reporting, penalty information, and renewal schedules. \u00a0Some of the items you\u2019ll need for renewing your plate include:<\/span><\/p>\n In most states, you can process your renewal online and print credentials needed. \u00a0Renewals must be received 30 days prior to the payment due date. For instance, if your registration date was January, your deadline for submitting the renewal is November 15th. and the IRP payment due date is December 15th \u00a0Penalties will apply to any renewal payment paid after the due date. <\/span><\/p>\n Getting apportioned plates usually broken down state-by-state. Visit our IRP by state pages to go over the specific specifications for getting an apportioned plate locally. Websites like DMV.gov also have information about how to do this. Search: international registration plan DMV.<\/span><\/p>\n Between the <\/span>IRP,<\/span><\/a> IFTA, and DOT, you will be required to remember a lot of deadlines and rules and regulations. \u00a0Not to mention the abundance of paperwork they require.
