IRP Registration Services

The International Registration Plan (IRP) is a crucial registration reciprocity agreement among the contiguous United States and Canadian provinces, which streamlines the process of taxing vehicles that travel through multiple jurisdictions. For businesses operating large commercial vehicles that cross state lines, IRP registration is not just a regulatory requirement but a facilitator of interstate commerce. 

Since 2017, Diesel Plates and Permits has specialized in navigating the complexities of IRP registration. With a deep understanding of both the logistical and regulatory landscapes, we ensure that your vehicles are compliant with all applicable laws, thereby avoiding costly penalties and delays. Our expertise is particularly tailored to the needs of California-based operators, providing them with reliable and efficient service in securing their IRP registrations and maintaining compliance as they conduct their business across state and national borders.

Why IRP Registration is Necessary

IRP registration is mandatory for any commercial vehicle operating across state lines that weighs over 26,000 pounds or has three or more axles. This requirement ensures that each state receives its fair share of tax revenue based on the mileage that vehicles travel within their borders. By adhering to this regulation, businesses can avoid legal issues and maintain smooth operations across various jurisdictions.

It's important to note that not all vehicles are subject to this rule; recreational vehicles and those owned by the government are exempt from IRP registration. Understanding these requirements is crucial for any commercial vehicle operator to ensure compliance and avoid potential disruptions in their operations.

Our IRP Services

At Diesel Plates and Permits, we streamline the IRP registration process for our clients by handling every detail with precision. Our approach ensures that every step of the process is managed efficiently and accurately:

  • Weight Increases: We begin by calculating weight increases for each vehicle. These are essential for accurately calculating the fees based on the total miles driven in each jurisdiction.
  • Gathering Insurance Evidence: We collect all necessary evidence of insurance as required by different states, ensuring that your fleet meets all legal requirements wherever they operate.
  • Completing All Paperwork: Our team meticulously completes all paperwork needed for IRP submission. This includes:
    • Preparing and organizing applications to ensure compliance with the varying requirements of each state your vehicles travel through.
    • Leveraging our deep familiarity with the rules specific to California and other jurisdictions to efficiently manage this complex process, minimizing errors and maximizing your time on the road.

This structured approach helps ensure that your registration process is handled seamlessly, allowing you to focus on your core business activities without concern for compliance issues.
