How do I add, delete or transfer vehicles in my fleet during the registration year?
These changes can be accomplished by completing and submitting an Apportioned Registration Application.
What records need to be maintained under IRP?
Check the Arizona Apportioned Registration Manual (Updates in Progress) for all documents you are required to maintain. Also, read your Record Keeping Agreement and Individual Vehicle Mileage Report to review the type of information you will be required to provide.
Are there penalties for traveling without valid registration or permits?
Yes. If you travel in a jurisdiction without valid registration credentials or a single trip permit, you will be subject to a penalty, fines and citations, depending on each state's laws.
What if I need to travel before I get my Arizona apportion credentials?
If travel outside of Arizona prior to your IRP registration application being completed, you must purchase single trip permits for the states you wish to enter.
If you are not currently registered in Arizona, you can purchase single trip permits, which allow you to travel lawfully through Arizona. These permits are available at Arizona ports of entry or MVD Commercial Permits.
What fees are paid for registration?
The Arizona fees include registration fee, vehicle license tax, commercial registration fee, weight fee, motor carrier fee, use fee and air quality diesel fee. In addition to these fees, you also pay the applicable registration fees due for each member jurisdiction in which you choose to travel.
Is there an alternative to IRP registration?
All vehicles must have valid registration to operate on the highways of the Arizona. If you are eligible for IRP registration, but do not wish to obtain this type of interstate registration, you have the option of applying for full Arizona base plate registration and then stopping at each state's port of entry to purchase single trip permits as you travel through various states.
Is there a charge for replacing a lost plate or cab card?
Yes, there is a $5 fee charged for replacement of an apportioned plate or cab card (plus a postage fee).
