Apportioned Vehicle Registration Services
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is one of 49 States that are included in the International Registration Plan (IRP). The plan provides for interstate operators to register their vehicles in Pennsylvania instead of having to deal directly with the different states in which they operate. PennDOT in turn will pay the “Apportionable” Fees to the various States and Canadian Provinces the vehicle is operated on the basis of proportion of total distance operated in each State or Province.
You are required to register your vehicles apportionately if your vehicle travels or intended for travel in two or more of the member jurisdictions listed on page 27 of The Plan Current Version (IRP link above) and :
- Is used for the transportation of people for hire or is designed, used , and/or kept primarily for the transport of property,
- Is a power unit having a gross or registered weight in excess of 26,000 pounds, or
- Is used on combination when the weight of such combination exceeds 26,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, or
- Is a power unit having three or more axles regardless of weight
- Vehicles or combinations having a gross vehicle weight of 26,000 pounds or less than two axle vehicles may be apportioned at the option of the owner.
