Getting Your Information Together

Before you get started, it's always helpful to have as much information together as possible. This checklist will help you know what to expect.

  • Vehicle Title
    The title is not necessary if it is already a PA title in your name and you do not need to make any changes. We can assist in requesting the title from your lienholder if the title is necessary for the transaction.
  • Proof of Insurance
    We need to submit proof of insurance for the vehicle you are registering. Bobtail only insurance coverage is not acceptable.
  • Lease Agreement
    We must submit a copy of your lease agreement if you are leased onto a company. The lease must show certain information to be acceptable. Please use the lease addendum for the most efficient and accurate way to provide this information for your registration application.
  • Paid 2290 (Heavy Highway Use Tax)
    A copy of a paid 2290 for the current year showing the VIN of the vehicle you are registration must be attached to the application. (exceptions do apply)
  • Form MV41
    The MV41 must be completed by a PA inspection mechanic qualified to inspect your vehicle. This form must be submitted for any Non Pennsylvania title applications.
  • Cab Card
    If you plan to transfer a plate to your new vehicle, the original cab card and any duplicate cards of the plate you want to transfer needs to be submitted with the application. If you are transferring a plate from a vehicle you never renewed, please be advised that you will be responsible for registration fees retroactive to the last valid renewal period. It is your responsibility to turn in any plates you do not renew to avoid these charges.
  • Registration Fees
    IRP registration expires on May 31. Your registration fees are prorated according to the remaining months including May multiplied by the monthly registration fee for your weight class. These fees must be submitted with your application. Any overage will be held by PennDot as a credit on your account. Any underage will result in a new invoice that must be paid before actual PennDot issued credentials can be recieved.

This is only a summary of some of the information you may need for your transaction.
