Temporary Permits When You Need to Hit the Road Fast

If you’re operating a commercial vehicle without proper registration or fuel tax credentials for a particular state or jurisdiction, you may be required to obtain a temporary trip or fuel permit. TFIG makes it easy to stay legal and compliant by securing these permits on your behalf—quickly and efficiently.

Trip Permits

Trip permits are temporary registration credentials that allow interstate travel for vehicles that are not registered under the IRP (International Registration Plan). These are typically valid for a short period (3 to 10 days), depending on the state.

Use a trip permit when:

  • Your vehicle isn’t registered for IRP
  • You’re hauling into or through a state where you’re not registered

We offer same-day service for most states and ensure the permit is delivered directly to your inbox.

Fuel Permits

Fuel permits allow legal travel for vehicles not enrolled in IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement). These permits allow you to temporarily operate in states where you’re not currently authorized to report fuel tax.

Use a fuel permit when:

  • You’re traveling in a jurisdiction where you don’t have IFTA coverage
  • You’re operating infrequently in that state and want to avoid full IFTA registration

TFIG makes it simple to get your fuel permits on-demand, without the delays.

Use a hunter’s permit when: 

  • You were previously registered under a motor carrier’s lease and are no longer under that lease.
  • Valid for 7 days
