VEHICLE REGISTRATION
How to renew IRP apportioned registration
IRP renewal is handled by your base jurisdiction. Start early enough to correct a vehicle, distance, title, or insurance problem before the current cab cards expire.
TIME: Use the renewal notice and begin early enough for your base jurisdiction to process changes
COST: The base jurisdiction calculates apportioned fees from the application and fleet information

Before you start
•
Renewal notice or account login
•
Fleet distance for the reporting period
•
Current truck list and VINs
•
Titles or ownership documents
•
Insurance and tax proof required by the jurisdiction
•
Form 2290 Schedule 1 when required
Get it done
01
Read the base-jurisdiction renewal instructions
Confirm its deadline, distance period, document list, payment method, and whether credentials are mailed or available electronically.
02
Reconcile the fleet first
Remove sold trucks, add new trucks through the correct transaction, and verify unit numbers, VINs, weights, ownership, and jurisdictions.
03
Prepare and check distance
Use the required reporting period and reconcile IRP distance to the underlying trip or electronic records before entry.
04
Upload supporting documents
Provide the title, lease, tax, insurance, residency, or other evidence your jurisdiction requests for the fleet and its vehicles.
05
Submit and pay
Review the invoice and fleet details before payment. Resolve holds rather than assuming payment alone makes a vehicle legal.
06
Verify every credential
Check each cab card against the correct truck and keep the renewal receipt and final fleet record.
Where people usually get stuck
IRP requirements and portals come from the base jurisdiction. If a truck was added, sold, replaced, or changed weight groups during the period, do not assume the ordinary renewal list is enough. Use the base jurisdiction's instructions for fleet changes and keep the documents supporting additions and deletions.

IRP covers apportioned registration; it does not replace IFTA, UCR, operating authority, insurance, Form 2290, or annual inspection requirements.
Filing it is the easy part. Remembering the next one is what gets people.
