Recently, the Municipal Agent Helpdesk sent an email about updates to the registration specifications for apportioned plates (APRO/IAPRO). The International Registration Plan (IRP) has introduced a new program that will be implemented by the State of NH starting August 12, 2024. All apportioned vehicles with an APRO or IAPRO plate will now have a maximum registration period of 12 months. Cities and towns will now be able to issue new apportioned plate registrations ranging from 1 to 4 months. You might be wondering how this change will affect your Avitar Clerk program.

Our current version of Clerk (version 3.5.1 or higher) is already equipped to handle 1-4 month new registrations for APRO/IAPRO plates. To implement this change in the Clerk software, we will be calling your office over the next few days to run a script. In the meantime, if you encounter a new registration for an apportioned plate type before we reach your town on our call list, please contact us so we can implement the necessary changes to enable you to process the new registration. This change to apportioned plates applies only to new registrations, not to renewals or transfers.

We expect to complete this update within a week, but it may take a bit longer due to varying office hours in some towns. Again, if you have a new apportioned vehicle that needs to be registered and we haven’t reached your town yet, please call us so we can promptly run the script.
