North Carolina DOT – Trucking/Commercial Vehicles for Heavy Machinery Shipping
Commercial Trucking
North Carolina is a member of the International Registration Plan – or IRP – which is a registration reciprocity agreement that provides apportioned payments of registration fees, based on the total distance operated in the continental United States and Canada.
A vehicle registered under the International Registration Plan – referred to as an apportioned vehicle – is only issued one license plate and one cab card.
The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles’ International Registration Manual serves as a guide to securing proportional registration in North Carolina and serves as a basic reference when preparing applications for annual registration.
For additional information, visit the International Registration Plan’s website.
