The International Registration Plan is a cooperative agreement between participating jurisdictions for registering vehicles that travel interstate.
How does an IRP work?
Under the IRP, interstate carriers must file an application with the jurisdiction in which they are based. The base jurisdiction issues registration credentials for each vehicle. Roadside enforcement uses these credentials to verify

What is considered as an established place of business?
"Established Place of Business" means a physical structure owned, leased or rented by the fleet registrant, designated by a street number or road location with operations during normal business hours. It must have:
