Quick answer

IRP Truck Registration — in one paragraph

The International Registration Plan (IRP) lets a commercial vehicle operate interstate under a single registration plate and cab card issued by your base state. QP handles IRP truck registration for $195, registering your fleet across every jurisdiction you operate in and reporting your mileage correctly.

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

If you operate your trucking company within multiple jurisdictions, you must report all miles driven and pay taxes on them annually. For your IRP, you must register all fleets of vehicles that operate in more than one jurisdiction.

How IRP registration works

You choose a base jurisdiction — usually where your business is established and records are kept — and that state issues plates and a cab card listing every jurisdiction you are registered to operate in. Registration fees are apportioned among those jurisdictions based on the percentage of miles you run in each.

Because fees follow your mileage, the fleet's historical mileage report matters more than anything else. QP builds that report with you, applies it correctly, and registers every power unit so nothing travels unplated.

How it works

IRP Registration: three steps, one team

No jargon, no runaround. Here is exactly what happens after you get started.

  1. 01

    Choose your base state

    We confirm where your business is established and where records are kept, which determines your base jurisdiction for IRP.

  2. 02

    Report and apportion mileage

    You provide last year's miles by state (or ELD/IFTA data) and we calculate the apportioned fees for each jurisdiction.

  3. 03

    Receive plates and cab cards

    Your base state issues apportioned plates and a cab card per vehicle, and we store the credentials for renewals.

FAQ

IRP Registration questions, answered

The questions our Louisville team hears most from owner-operators and fleet owners.

The International Registration Plan allows one registration plate and cab card to cover interstate operation in multiple jurisdictions. Any commercial vehicle that travels in more than one jurisdiction and exceeds the weight thresholds needs IRP apportioned plates.

QP charges a $195 service fee. State apportioned registration fees are additional and depend on your fleet's weight and mileage split — we itemize the full amount before you pay anything.

IRP registers your vehicles and divides registration fees among jurisdictions based on miles. IFTA reports and pays fuel tax by jurisdiction based on miles per gallon. Most interstate carriers need both.

Yes. States require proof of HVUT payment — your stamped Schedule 1 — before issuing apportioned plates. QP files your 2290 first so the registration is not delayed.

IRP registrations run on a 12-month cycle tied to your base jurisdiction's renewal schedule. We track your expiration and prepare the renewal with updated mileage and weights.
