What do I need to know about my IFTA credentials (license and decals)?
- has two axles and a gross vehicle weight or registered gross vehicle weight exceeding 26,000 pounds, (11,793 kilograms);
- has three or more axles, regardless of weight; or
- is used in combination, and the gross vehicle weight or registered gross vehicle weight of the combined vehicles exceeds 26,000 pounds (11,793 kilograms).
You qualify for IFTA and should obtain the proper IFTA credentials if your vehicle is a commercial motor vehicle used, designed, or maintained for transportation of persons or property in two or more jurisdictions, and
Your valid IFTA license and decals allow you to operate in all IFTA jurisdictions. These credentials are good for one calendar year and must be renewed between October 1 and December 31 for the following year.
To renew your credentials, you must electronically submit Form MFUT-12, Motor Fuel Use Tax IFTA License and Decals Application, using MyTax Illinois.
Decals are issued in sets of two. One set of decals is required for each qualifying vehicle you intend to operate.
IFTA licensees who submit renewal applications prior to January 1 are provided a grace period to receive the new sets of decals and affix them to their qualified motor vehicles. The grace period ends the last day of February.
The grace period is not an extension for carriers to file a renewal application. Licensees who fail to renew prior to January 1 are not afforded a grace period and their IFTA license status will show as suspended.
