What document does the DMV issue to International Registration Plan (IRP) vehicles?

The DMV issues an Apportioned Registration Cab Card for vehicles participating in the International Registration Plan (IRP) as it serves as proof of registration for multiple jurisdictions. This card indicates the specific jurisdictions in which the vehicle is registered and the corresponding weight categories for which registration fees have been paid. This is essential for commercial vehicles that operate across state lines, as it ensures compliance with various state regulations and simplifies the registration process by allowing a single registration to cover travel in multiple states.

The Apportioned Registration Cab Card represents the investment made by the owner for the rights to operate in those jurisdictions, making it a critical document for any commercial operator involved in interstate travel. It also helps law enforcement and regulatory agencies easily verify registration status and weight limits, ensuring that the vehicle operates within legal requirements.

This contrasts with the other options, which either represent different types of documentation unrelated to IRP vehicles or serve separate purposes entirely. For example, a Certificate of Compliance typically pertains to emissions standards, an Operator's License is a driver's permit, and a Vehicle Inspection Certificate focuses on the mechanical condition of the car rather than its registration across jurisdictions.
