Approximately 90 days before your IRP registration expires, you will normally receive a New York State IRP Renewal Report by mail.

Follow the instructions in the IRP Renewal Packet (PDF) (IRP-34) that is enclosed with your renewal report. Return the renewal application to IRB at least 45 days before the expiration date of the current registration. Allow 3 weeks to receive your renewal bill and a list of any additional information that is required. Send your payment and any additional required items to IRB at the address in the IRP Renewal Packet.

To make sure that you receive your new documents before your current registration expires, IRB must receive your payment at least 20 days before the expiration date.

If you do not receive the IRP Renewal Report, follow the instructions in the IRP Renewal Packet (PDF) (IRP-34). Complete Schedule A & C (PDF) (IRP-6) and Schedule B Distance Information (PDF) (IRP-5). Use the instructions in the renewal packet to send and pay for your renewal application.

If your IRP registration items are lost or stolen, you can apply for replacement items by mail or fax.

• Complete and sign Schedule A & C (PDF) (IRP-6).
  • In Part 1: Type of Application Requested, select "Duplicate Cab Card", "Replacement Plate" and/or "Replacement Sticker". 
  • Then, complete Parts 2, 3 and 4 and sign the form.
• Send a check or money order payable to the "Commissioner of Motor Vehicles" for the correct amount. Note: If both apportioned plates or any other items are lost or stolen, get form Report of Lost or Stolen Motor Vehicle Items (MV-78B) from a police agency. DMV will replace your items for no fee if form MV-78B shows that your items were lost due to crime.
• Mail or fax your completed application to IRB at the address below.

Fees

The fees for duplicate IRP registration items are

• replacement apportioned vehicle plates with cab card - $27.50
• replacement cab card and sticker- $2.50

Remaining Apportioned Plates

If one or both apportioned plates remain, you must send in the apportioned plate(s) and your old cab card within 30 days after you receive your new apportioned plates. If you do not return your license plates, DMV can suspend your IRB account. The IRB will issue new apportioned plates that have a different number, along with a new matching cab card. You cannot request apportioned plates with the same number you had before.
