  Combined Gross Weight

Indicate the unladen weight plus the weight of the heaviest load to be carried on any vehicle combination.

Note: For vehicles 55,000 pounds and over, provide proof of payment or suspension of Federal Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) by mailing or faxing a copy of the receipted Federal From 2290, Schedule 1, for the current year to Commercial Vehicle Service before renewing online. If you have not filed the form, you may file directly through Commercial Vehicle Services, with any checks made payable to the US Treasury.

If you need to change a weight from 54,000 pounds or lower to a weight above 54,000 pounds, you must do this type of transaction through Commercial Vehicle Services.

  Mileage

For power units over 60,000 combined gross weight, you must list the Idaho mileage driven during the previous July 1 through June 30 mileage reporting period.

If no Idaho miles were operated during that time, mileage must be estimated by using the standard 11,000 mileage estimate, or by providing your own estimate from the Full Fee Mileage Guidelines worksheet. If you use the worksheet and your estimate is 7,500 miles or lower, you must license the unit directly with Commercial Vehicle Services.


  Additional Concerns

If you need to:

  • Register a commercial vehicle for the first time
  • Change the vehicle type, vehicle year, make, or VIN
  • Change the name or address on your registration
