IRP Tags are license plates issued under the International Registration Plan (IRP) – a cooperative agreement among U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and Canadian provinces to allow commercial motor carriers to operate across multiple jurisdictions using a single registration.
Any commercial vehicle that operates interstate (across state or provincial lines) and meets one or more of the following:
Fees are based on:
This ensures each jurisdiction gets its fair share of the registration revenue.
| Aspect | IRP | IFTA |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Vehicle registration across jurisdictions | Fuel tax reporting and payment |
| Applies To | Commercial vehicles over weight limits | Same commercial vehicles |
| Key Document | IRP plate + cab card | IFTA license + quarterly reports + decals |
| Jurisdiction Sharing | Registration fees | Fuel tax revenues |

Starting a new IRP account can feel overwhelming. TFIG walks you through every step, ensuring all forms are completed and supporting documents are provided. We submit everything to your base jurisdiction and follow up until your credentials are issued.
Keep your IRP credentials current with TFIG’s renewal services. We handle mileage reporting, payment estimates, and submission on your behalf to make the annual process simple and on time.
Transporter license plates differ from International Registration Plan (IRP) plates in that their use is restricted to specific purposes. They may only be used in the following situations:
When you add a vehicle to your fleet, you’ll need to update your IRP registration. TFIG gathers the details and manages the update with your base jurisdiction so you’re ready to roll.
TFIG helps you transfer an IRP plate from one vehicle to another without errors or delays. Whether replacing a truck or adjusting your fleet, we handle the paperwork.
Changes to your carrier information – like contact or fleet details – must be reported promptly. TFIG updates your IRP account to reflect those changes.
If your company name has changed due to rebranding or restructuring, TFIG will manage the name change process with your base jurisdiction, ensuring a seamless update to all IRP documents.
Moved to a new location? We’ll submit the necessary paperwork to update your IRP account and ensure your cab card and registration reflect the correct information.
If you have an IRP tag and complete any type of title work—such as a lien release, name change, title transfer, address change, or similar—the state will automatically cancel the current registration on that vehicle.
To avoid any compliance issues, please contact our office after completing title work so we can ensure your truck remains legally registered and road-ready.
