"Some say it's simple to get your authority, and that you should save your money and do it yourself. Other people, including myself, are not sure where to even begin. I used a service provided by DAT to get my authority. It was important to me that it was done right the first time, by people who have done this before."

Whenever you register to operate a commercial vehicle over 26,000 pounds, chances are you’ll need registration from the International Registration Plan (IRP). To get IRP plates, you’ll need to submit the IRP application form to your state-level IRP jurisdiction. These jurisdictions are usually the department of transportation for your state or territory. You can find your IRP jurisdiction on irponline.org.
For IRP renewal, you actually don’t need to calculate your state miles. When you’re operating freight for interstate travel, you’ll need to obtain IRP plates from the state-level jurisdiction in your home base. Annual IRP fees are based on the average per-vehicle distance for vehicles in your jurisdiction. This distance is calculated by your local IRP jurisdiction, and it changes from year to year.
IRP renewal requires direct contact with your state-level IRP jurisdiction. Wherever your vehicle is registered — your “home base” — is the state where you’ll need to get IRP plates. With DAT Authority, our IRP registration services will fill out all your required paperwork. After that, all you need to do is submit the registration forms to your jurisdiction.
Yes! IRP is one of a few state-level requirements that apply to most commercial motor vehicle operators. Because registration fees are based on average per vehicle distances for drivers from your jurisdiction, IRP fees vary from year to year, and from state to state. DAT Authority offers a variety of state-level registration services, from IRP renewal to IFTA registration, state permits, and more.
For federal-level registration, DAT Authority can complete and file your required paperwork. For state-level registration, you’ll need to file the application yourself — but our DAT experts can help you at every step of the way. DAT Authority Gold provides round-the-clock advisors who can answer any IRP questions you may have, and they can actually fill out your IRP registration paperwork for you.
There are several reasons why you might need to get IRP plates. Whether you’re getting your vehicle reregistered in a new state, working for a new employer, or simply renewing your IRP license for an annual review, IRP trucking registration allows you to transport freight across state lines. With DAT Authority Gold, you can get your IRP number as efficiently as possible.
