About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the IRP installment bond covers

Under the International Registration Plan (IRP), an interstate motor carrier registers fleet vehicles through one base jurisdiction, and the registration fees are apportioned among the states where it operates. Wisconsin, through the Department of Transportation, lets a registrant pay the Wisconsin portion in quarterly installments instead of all at once.

Because the carrier is deferring fees it still owes, the DOT requires a payment guarantee. The bond stands behind the unpaid installment balance — if the carrier defaults on the installment plan, the DOT can recover the owed registration fees against the bond.

The DOT sizes the bond to the fees being deferred, so the amount varies by account. The department also requires the surety seal to be a raised imprint or a surety sticker. Enter the amount the DOT named and we issue at a flat 3% — credit affects approval, never the price.

Wisconsin DOT — IRP installment payment planThe Wisconsin Department of Transportation allows IRP (apportioned registration) registrants to pay the Wisconsin portion of their annual fees on a quarterly installment plan, and requires a payment guarantee — a surety bond — for the deferred balance. The bond amount is set by the DOT for the account, and the surety seal must be a raised imprint or surety sticker. Confirm the required amount on your DOT installment paperwork.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Wisconsin IRP installment bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The DOT sets the bond amount based on the registration fees you are deferring — enter that figure and the quote updates.
Why does the DOT require it? +
Because you are paying your apportioned registration fees in installments rather than upfront, the DOT wants a guarantee for the unpaid balance. The bond lets the state recover the deferred fees if you default on the installment plan.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way: credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
Does the bond need a raised seal? +
The Wisconsin DOT requires the surety seal to be a raised imprint or applied as a surety sticker. Our executed bonds meet that requirement.
What amount should I enter? +
The amount the DOT named for your installment plan. It is tied to the fees you defer, so it varies by account. Send us your DOT paperwork and we will confirm it.
