Does an interstate vehicle weighing 26,000 pounds (or less) that has not been registered under the International Registration Plan (IRP) receive registration reciprocity when operating in other IRP jurisdictions?
Not in all cases. Interstate vehicles 26,000 pounds or less may apportion under the IRP if they wish, but are not required to do so. Vehicles choosing not to apportion are subject to individual jurisdiction registration laws. Some states allow these non-apportioned vehicles to travel interstate in their jurisdictions but require a trip permit before operating intrastate; some require vehicles of 26,000 pounds or less to obtain trip permits before operating interstate or intrastate. Carriers should consult the states of travel to determine what permits may be needed.
