How to obtain an Apportioned plate or IRP
As of January 1997, the International Registration Plan, commonly called IRP, is an optional program for licensing commercial vehicles traveling in two or more IRP jurisdictions. If a Massachusetts registered commercial vehicle with a gross vehicle weight over 26,000 lbs. chooses not to register under IRP, it cannot travel interstate, that is outside of Massachusetts, without first calling ahead and purchasing Trip Permits from each state that it wishes to travel through. Let Eastern States help you register your business for the IRP plan.  For more information, visit Massachusetts RMV Internal Registration Plan.
