Special Registration Programs

Prorate Program

Alberta is a member of the International Registration Plan (IRP), a reciprocity registration agreement among Canadian and U.S. jurisdictions. This program applies to Alberta carriers who travel in Alberta and at least one other province or state. Rather than obtaining and paying for plates and registration in each jurisdiction, prorate offers the advantage of proportionate licencing in Alberta.

As part of the IRP, the Alberta Transportation Prorate Services’ office calculates registration fees for prorate approved commercial vehicles. The fees are calculated based on the percentage of total distance travelled within each jurisdiction. All prorated registrations expire on March 31 of each year. For more information please call Prorate Services at 403-297-2920 or visit their website.

Quarterly Licencing Program

The Quarterly Licencing Program is used by clients:

Who have an annual registration fee of $500 or more and want to split their registration into a quarterly rate

Whose vehicles are part of the Permanent Fleet Program. Clients cannot register or renew their vehicle registrations for less than one full quarter.

Quarterly registration periods are:

January 1 to March 31
April 1 to June 30
July 1 to September 30
October 1 to December 31

Qualifying clients:

Have the option to register/renew their vehicles quarterly, semi-annually or annually
May group specific vehicles into separate fleets and have each fleet expire at different periods
