IRP and IFTA closing an account

U.S. Department of Transportation number 

Prior to deactivating your U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) or changing your USDOT number to an intrastate DOT number, please ensure your International Registration Plan (IRP) and International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) accounts are fully satisfied and closed. Not doing so may impact any credits associated to the IRP account and may impact future registration eligibility. 

International Registration Plan account 

To close your IRP account, you must return all plates assigned to your account including the registration year stickers, and IRP cab card. This will need to be returned with the Minnesota IRP Supplement Application filled out. Retain operational records for five and a half years from the date the account is closed. Ensure there are no outstanding tax liabilities. 

International Fuel Tax Agreement account

To close an IFTA account with an exemption, an IFTA Application must be completed, you must surrender of the IFTA license and all decals, payment of all outstanding tax liabilities must be received. Retain operational records for four years from the date the account is closed. Ensure there are no outstanding tax liabilities. The IFTA account will remain active, and the account will be liable for quarterly tax returns and taxes until the ITFA account has been properly closed. 

An IRP and IFTA account must be closed at the same time, unless the IFTA account is being closed due to a qualified exemption, such as leasing to an entity that will provide their own IFTA registration. 

IFTA exemption 

To close an IFTA account with an exemption, an IFTA Application must be completed, you must surrender of the IFTA license and all decals, payment of all outstanding tax liabilities must be received, and you will need to provide a copy of the lease agreement or contract with the entity providing the IFTA registration. 

All IRP and IFTA credentials can be mailed to the following address:
