Registration is under the jurisdiction of the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration.

Arkansas has a staggered registration renewal for apportioned vehicles.

The registration of the vehicle covered by the temporary permit must be completed within the 30 day limit of the permit. The temporary permit covering a specific vehicle cannot be transferred to another vehicle. There is no fee to receive a temporary permit.

Hunter's permit: A hunter permit is for owner/operators not operating as a lessor. Owner/operators may purchase a non-apportioned base plate for the unladen weight of their truck. The registration fee will be the lowest of the fees for the particular weight classification.

Agency: Department of Finance and Administration; see Regulatory Agencies for address(es).

Fees

Registration fees apply to trucks, truck tractors, and buses.

For the purpose of evidencing registration of semitrailers, a special tag is issued to be attached to each semitrailer for the purpose of identification.

Carriers may obtain permanent nontransferable registration on semitrailers for a special fee. An annual fee applies for all trailers operated in the transportation of farm products and other natural resources.
