WHAT IS MICHIGAN IRP ONLINE?
The International Registration Plan (IRP) is a program for licensing
commercial vehicles (trucks and non-chartered buses) in interstate operations
among member jurisdictions. All of North America is included in the IRP, except
for Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico and the Canadian Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
Michigan IRP Online is an electronic credentialing application that allows
various types of IRP transactions to be performed via the Internet. You can
process renewals, add jurisdictions, add vehicles, increase weights, transfer
plates, and request credential replacements. Your vehicles can be on the road in
less time with less effort.
Michigan IRP allows electronic check (e-check) payments. You may print your
own temporary authority (TA) permits, valid for 30 days, for all types of
transactions except renewals. Temporary authority permits can be printed for
renewal transactions only after the renewal has been paid. The IRP office must
receive payment before the TA expires.
Payments can be made either by e-check through IRP Online, by mail, or in
person at the Lansing IRP office. Credit cards are not accepted. After payment
is received, the IRP office will mail your credentials (cab cards and plates, if
needed) to your Michigan business address.
