Trip Permits – Office of Motor Vehicles

A Trip Permit is a temporary authority document issued to allow an appropriate vehicle, without an IRP apportioned registration, to travel in a jurisdiction without obtaining an IRP plate. A carrier should secure a trip permit prior to entering a jurisdiction for which they are not apportioned. Trip permits for travel in Louisiana are valid for 48 hours and can be obtained through a wire service company.
