About this service

Replace IRP Cab Card

We obtain a replacement IRP cab card, usually the fastest credential in the whole system to get back.

The cab card is the document an officer actually asks for. It identifies every jurisdiction the vehicle is authorised to operate in and the combined gross weight permitted in each one, which is why it belongs in the cab rather than in a folder at the yard.

Most jurisdictions reissue the card electronically — there is nothing to manufacture or post. A police report is not usually required either; a signed statement describing the loss is normally enough, unlike a stolen plate.

Whether your driver can carry a copy on a phone depends on where you run. A growing number of jurisdictions accept an electronic cab card, but several still require the original or a paper copy in the vehicle, so confirm before relying on it. One thing this filing does not fix: if the card is intact but the information on it is wrong, that is an amendment, and the corrected card is reissued as part of that instead.

What you get

The fastest credential to replace — reissued electronically in most jurisdictions.
The current card is reprinted with your correct jurisdictions and weights.
A PDF copy goes to your email so the driver can carry it where electronic cards are accepted.
We check the card against your account and flag anything out of date.
Step by step

What happens after you order

The sequence starts when your details are complete. Where a jurisdiction requires something only it can do — an in-person signature, a VIN inspection, a physical plate surrender — we tell you up front and give you the address and the forms to bring.

  1. 01

    You place the order

    The unit and the plate. A signed statement describing the loss is normally all a cab card needs — no police report.

  2. 02

    Filed, and your account checked while we are in there

    The current card is reprinted with your correct jurisdictions and weights, and anything out of date on the account is flagged to you.

  3. 03

    Reissued

    Most jurisdictions reissue electronically — nothing to manufacture, nothing to post.

  4. 04

    PDF in your inbox

    So the driver can carry it where electronic cab cards are accepted. We tell you which of the states you run still require paper.

Before you start

What the form actually asks for

Information, not a folder of paperwork. Your USDOT number pulls the carrier record from federal files; everything else is typed in once.

01
Who is registering

Your business

5
  • Base jurisdiction

    The state where your business is established, where your distance is accrued and where your operational records are kept.

  • Application type

    One of ten filings in the dropdown. Pick the closest — a specialist re-routes it before anything is submitted if it is wrong.

  • Registrant type

    Individual, Sole Proprietor, LLC, Corporation or Partnership. This decides which owner fields open next.

  • USDOT number

    Enter it and the carrier legal name, street address, city, state, ZIP and EIN come back from federal records. If the lookup finds nothing you can type the company details in by hand.

  • Owner / officer details

    Individual or Sole Proprietor: registrant full name and SSN. LLC, Corporation or Partnership: officer position, registrant full name, company name and EIN.

02
Entered per power unit

Each vehicle

1
  • VIN

    All 17 characters per unit, exactly as they appear on the title.

03
Existing documents, then sign

Credentials & sign-off

3
  • Current cab card

    Your most recent IRP cab card — needed for renewals and any change to an existing account.

  • Plate number

    For transfers, replacements and account closures.

  • Power of attorney

    Signed electronically at checkout — initials, typed name and signature. It authorises us to file on your behalf.

California · DMV ICP authorized agent

California IRP registration — same-day apportioned plates

IRP Registration Services is authorized through the California DMV Interstate Carrier Program (ICP), so we process California IRP registrations directly and issue apportioned plates, cab cards and decals from our own office — no DMV queue, no waiting on a mailed plate.

Issued from our office in Burbank, California

  • Authorized under the California DMV ICP — We are permitted to process IRP registrations and issue credentials, not merely submit an application and wait.
  • Plates, cab cards and decals issued in our office — The physical credentials are produced here in Burbank.
  • As little as one business day — For a complete California filing, once your carrier and vehicle details are in.
  • No DMV appointment, no field-office queue — And no separate trip for a VIN verification we can arrange for you.
  • Every California filing type — New registration, renewal, added or deleted vehicles, weight and class changes, transfers, replacements and closures.

ICP authorization applies to California only. In the other 47 states we prepare and file your application and follow it through to issuance, but the credentials are produced and released by that jurisdiction.

Pricing

Your exact price, before you pay anything

IRP pricing is not one flat number, because IRP filings are not one flat job. Four things move it — and all four are answered in the form, so your total is on screen and itemized before any payment is taken.

Your base jurisdiction

Every state sets its own registration fees and its own rules under the Plan, so the same truck does not cost the same in California as in Texas.

The application type

A first-time registration is more work than a cab card reissue. Ten application types, each priced for what it actually involves.

How many vehicles

Priced per vehicle and tiered — the more units on the filing, the lower the per-vehicle fee.

Gross vehicle weight

The declared weight bracket for each unit. Above 80,000 lb is quoted by phone rather than online.

What the service fee covers
  • Our service fee for preparing and submitting the filing
  • An experienced IRP specialist on your file from start to finish
  • USDOT verification and carrier data pulled from federal records
  • A document checklist specific to your jurisdiction and filing
  • All communication with the state, including follow-up until issuance
  • Credentials sent to you the moment the jurisdiction releases them
Charged by the state, not by us
  • State apportioned registration fees, set by your base jurisdiction
  • Title, plate, decal or VIN inspection fees charged by the state
  • Any penalty or late fee a jurisdiction assesses on your account

Apportioned fees are the state's arithmetic, not ours: the share of your fleet's distance run in a jurisdiction, multiplied by that jurisdiction's own registration fee, adjusted for declared weight. We pass those through at cost.

Above 80,000 lb: the top weight bracket is quoted by phone — call (888) 202-4927.
