Vehicles that are properly registered under the International Registration Plan (IRP) receive one apportioned license plate and a cab card from the base jurisdiction. The cab card lists the registered weight the vehicle must comply with to operate in each jurisdiction.
Cab cards are vehicle-specific, and the original cab card must be carried in the vehicle for which it was issued. Copies are usually not allowed. Starting in January 2019, carriers are allowed to carry their IRP cab cards electronically.
Vehicles registered under the IRP are authorized to travel either interstate or intrastate in all jurisdictions. No additional vehicle registration is required for intrastate travel.
