8.0 New Registrations
The initial IRP application contains: Equipment Registration Form (MCS-IRP-1) and
Mileage Schedule (MCS-IRP-2), and instructions on the reverse side of each IRP Carrier Guide
and IRP Registration Certification form. It is the applicant's responsibility to properly and
accurately complete each form necessary to register vehicles under the IRP program. Fully
complete and submit an Equipment Registration Form (MCS-IRP-1), a Mileage Schedule
(MCS-IRP-2) and an IRP Registration Certification (IRP-7) form. Instructions for completing
forms are available on line (see Appendix B). Proofs of address are required (see Appendix F).
Equipment Registration Form (MCS-IRP-1), Original/Supplemental
Application
Equipment Registration Form (MCS-IRP-1), Original/Supplemental Application, is used for
initial applicants. It is also used as a supplemental application after an initial application has been
submitted or after IRP registration. Use it as a supplemental application to: add or delete
vehicles to a same fleet; transfer plates; increase gross vehicle weight; correct registration
information; to notify a change of address (proof of address is required – see Appendix F); to
obtain a duplicate cab card and to request replacement plates. It requires the providing of: a fleet
number; registration year; business and mailing addresses (post office box numbers are not
permitted for business address); a contact person; phone number; vehicle weight information; the
equipment number assigned by the applicant; a full vehicle description; fuel type; vehicle prices;
lease information; and insurance information, USDOT number and TIN number.
Mileage Schedule (MCS-IRP-2), Mileage Schedule Application
An initial applicant is to use the average per-Vehicle distance chart for New Jersey, unless the
Fleet did accrue actual distance during the Reporting Period. It also requires: applicant
information; mailing address; type of operation (private carrier, rental, household goods mover,
etc.); a contact person and an explanation of the method used to estimate your miles. The carrier
will be required to substantiate the estimate either by providing routes, destinations and number
of trips or by using the estimated mileage chart located on our web site (see Appendix A). Trip
permit operations are included in the total estimated miles. If there is a need to add a jurisdiction
to a particular fleet after submission of an initial application, Mileage Schedule (MCS-IRP-2)
must be used. If the renewal mileage form is not used, a Mileage Schedule (MCS-IRP-2) can be
used. Registrants under full reciprocity will no longer have to add jurisdictions. This requirement
will go away entirely as of January 1, 2016.
If all states to be apportioned are not adjacent or bordering one another, the carrier must provide
an explanation.
NOTE: Do not send any payment with the application for the apportioned registration.
A bill will be generated and sent to you based on the information supplied on the
application. The bill will list the registration fee for each jurisdiction and provide a
total due on page 1.
The fact that the application was made and the application is on file with the IRP Section does
not grant authority to operate in New Jersey or any other state in lieu of IRP registration
credentials.
