Michigan Trip And Fuel Permit - IRP and IFTA permits for Michigan

Trip Permits (72-Hour Reciprocity Permit)

Michigan Operators Driving Out-of-State

Michigan operators eligible for apportioned registration must have a trip permit to enter any IRP jurisdiction unless the Michigan vehicle has an apportioned registration with the jurisdiction listed on the cab card.

In most jurisdictions, as long as you meet the member jurisdiction's requirements, your vehicle can be operated intrastate and interstate for the period allowed under the trip permit. However, in Alberta, Arkansas, British Columbia, Iowa, Manitoba, Nebraska, Ontario, and Wyoming, trip permit operation is limited to interstate movement. Prince Edward Island is limited to one entry and one exit.
