Louisiana Trip Permits Explained

A Louisiana trip permit is a permit that is temporarily issued in place of IRP credentials for registered vehicles that are not licensed in the jurisdiction where immediate travel is necessary. If you need an IRP trip permit, you can apply for temporary trip trucking permits online prior to entering a jurisdiction where you are not apportioned. In the State of Louisiana, a temporary IRP permit costs $50.00, and is valid for 48 hours from the time it is obtained.

Who Needs a Trip Permit?

This program is for buses and commercial trucks that intend to travel in Louisiana and in at least 1 other jurisdiction. It is also used for commercial vehicles that will be transporting persons for hire and for commercial vehicles that will be primarily used and maintained for property transportation purposes. If the vehicle meets any of the below standards and exits Louisiana for commercial purposes, then it should have an apportioned plate or a temporary IRP permit.
