International Registration Plan
North Dakota is a member of the International Registration Plan (IRP). The IRP is a base state system for vehicle registration fees allowing a carrier to apply for vehicle registration and pay fees to a single jurisdiction.
Motor vehicles that qualify for apportionment consist of the following:
- A power unit having two axles and a gross vehicle weight (GVW) or registered weight in excess of 26,000 pounds;
- A power unit having three or more axles, regardless of weight; or
- A unit used in combination when the weight of such combination exceeds a GVW or 26,000 pounds.
Hunter's or unladen weight permit: Operators who require a temporary registration to move their apportionable unladen vehicle may obtain an unladen permit for a $30 fee. The permit is valid for 14 days.
Agency: North Dakota Department of Transportation, Motor Carrier Section.
Fees: IRP fees are calculated on an apportioned basis, depending on the percentage of actual distance the fleet traveled in each jurisdiction, vehicle value and type, vehicle age, registered weight, and vehicle identification information.
