West Virginia IRP & IFTA (WV Trip & Fuel)

State pricing for trip and fuel permits.

The West Virginia DMV offers 10 day trip and fuel combo permits authorizing travel in West Virginia for any vehicle that is subject to the International Registration Plan (IRP) or the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) but is not registered under these programs.

$73.50 for combination West Virginia IRP and IFTA trip permit (plus service fees if you apply through a permit service).

Common Questions

If I have an IRP license plate do I also need to apply for IFTA?

You must also register for IFTA and file motor fuel road tax reports on a quarterly basis for the vehicles within your fleet if:

• have two axles and a gross vehicle weight or registered gross vehicle weight of more than 26,000 pounds; OR
• have three or more axles regardless of weight; OR
• are used in combination, when the combined weight is more than 26,000 pounds gross or registered gross vehicle weight at any time.

My vehicle weight is less than 26,001 pounds and I deliver to several locations within another jurisdiction, do I need IRP plates?

You will be required to get IRP plates or a temporary trip permit for the other jurisdictions if you are doing intrastate movement within another jurisdiction regardless of the weight of your vehicle. Intrastate movement means operation point to point within a jurisdiction.

Penalties can range from $100 to $500. Are you planning to do business in, or travel through West Virginia? If you have a vehicle registered outside the state of West Virginia, regulations state that temporary trip (IFTA) and fuel-use permits must be purchased before you enter the state or else you will be subject to seizure of your vehicle. If seizure of your vehicle occurs your vehicle will not be released until all money is paid to the state.

Trip & Fuel Permits (IRP & IFTA)

Ifta delays we can help.

We understand that some state DOTS, including Texas and New Jersey, are experiencing major delays in issuing Temporary Trip & Fuel Permits, but we’re here to assist and provide faster turnaround times. 

All carriers now must use a third-party permit service to apply for and obtain Nevada Trip & Fuel Permits. 

WCS Permits can help you stay compliant whether you need Temporary Trip Permits, also known as IRP Permits, or Temporary Fuel Permits, commonly referred to as IFTA Permits. 

Temporary Trip Permits (IRP) act as a temporary vehicle registration for commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) traveling outside of their home state and Temporary Fuel Permits (IFTA) are issued to CMVs who do not have current IFTA credentials for states they will travel through.  

Temporary trip & fuel permits (IFTA) are often needed at the drop of a dime in any sector of the transportation industry and WCS Permits can help. 

We provide fast and affordable temporary trip and fuel permits in the United States and Canada. After hour emergency service is also available.  PLEASE NOTE: WE DO NOT issue IFTA stickers. 

CT HUT Permits Are Now Required We Can Help!

More about temporary fuel permits (ifta) & irp, understand the difference.

• Fuel permits (IFTA)

The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) is an agreement between the US States & Canadian provinces to simplify the reporting of fuel taxes.The purpose of IFTA is to establish and maintain the concept of one fuel use license for carriers operating qualified motor vehicles interstate. An IFTA allows a taxpayer to file one tax report that covers all member jurisdictions. 

Since the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) is a base state or province fuel tax agreement, any person based in a member jurisdiction that operates one or more  qualified CMVs  (Commercial Motor Vehicles) in two or more member jurisdictions is required to license under the International Fuel Tax Agreement, or purchase temporary fuel permits for travel in any member jurisdictions.  

A  qualified motor vehicle  is classified as having the following:

• Two axles and a gross vehicle weight or registered gross vehicle weight exceeding 26,000 pounds or 11,797 kilograms
• Three or more axles regardless of weight 
• A tractor and trailer with a registered weight over 26,000 pounds or 11,797 kilogram, then you will require a Fuel Permit if you do not have an IFTA Decal on your truck

A temporary Fuel Permit will be required if you fit one of these categories and do not have an IFTA Decal on your truck.

• Trip permits (IRP)

If one of your vehicles is traveling interstate and isn’t registered under the International Registration Plan (IRP), you’ll need to order a temporary trip permit.

A  trip permit  is needed if your vehicle does not have IRP authority and is traveling out of state and any of these apply:

• Vehicle isn’t registered under IRP
• Vehicle has 3 or more axles
• Vehicle has a gross vehicle or registered weight over 26,000 pounds or 11,797 kilograms
• A two vehicle and trailer have a combined gross vehicle or registered weight over 26,000 pounds or 11,797 kilograms
