• The Full Reciprocity Plan (FRP) is a relatively new fee structure for first year registrations of a fleet.
• Vehicles apportioned under the International Registration Plan (IRP) FRP are considered fully registered for both intra-jurisdictional and inter-jurisdictional travel.
• Because an apportioned vehicle is registered in all IRP jurisdictions, trip permits for IRP-plated vehicles are no longer required.

On January 1, 2015, the International Registration Plan (IRP) fee process changed with the implementation of a new fee structure known as the Full Reciprocity Plan (FRP). The FRP changed the IRP so that all apportioned vehicles were granted full reciprocity in all member jurisdictions. FRP provisions changed the fee structure for first year registrations of a fleet to a system in which the registrant pays based on the estimated distance chart composite fee derived from the average distance traveled in each jurisdiction by all current registrants in the fleet’s base jurisdiction.

Vehicles apportioned under the IRP FRP are considered fully registered for both intra-jurisdictional and inter-jurisdictional travel. The vehicle cab cards issued to apportioned registrants list the weight or number of axles for which the vehicles are registered in all jurisdictions.

Because an apportioned vehicle is registered in all IRP jurisdictions, trip permits for IRP-plated vehicles are no longer required. The FRP also eliminated the need to add jurisdictions during a registration year.

FRP was rolled out throughout 2015 and is currently in effect for all carriers.
