What Is Oregon IRP Registration?

Oregon IRP registration lets carriers plate their vehicles under a single apportioned registration, where fees are distributed based on the miles traveled in each jurisdiction.
It is required for:

• Vehicles over 26,000 lbs. GVW, or

• Vehicles with three or more axles, or

• Combinations exceeding 26,000 lbs. operating interstate.

Benefits of Oregon IRP Registration:

• One registration valid in all IRP states and provinces

• Simplified compliance for interstate carriers

• Avoids the need for multiple state registrations

• Reduces roadside violations related to improper registration

The Oregon MCTD (Motor Carrier Transportation Division) manages all IRP accounts through Oregon Trucking Online, making renewals and updates straightforward.
