What Interstate Registration?
Arizona law provides for a type of commercial vehicle registration that allows foreign registered, interstate operated vehicles to lawfully travel in this state.
This registration, commonly known as an Interstate Registration, is issued to an owner/operator of a commercially operated motor vehicle registered in another state or country, conducting interstate operations, and who does not qualify or does not wish to register under the International Registration Plan (IRP).
