2025 IFTA Renewal Information (3Q24 Newsletter)
2025 Renewal Process:
- IFTA credentials are for a calendar year, unlike IRP, which can expire at different times. The IFTA renewal season begins December 1st. Accounts are reviewed in no particular order, and licenses and decals are mailed weekly via USPS to accounts in good standing.
- IRP registered vehicles are issued one set of decals each. If you need another set of decals, you may request them when registering a new vehicle for IRP, or by web message through Revenue Online. IFTA accounts will receive an “Action Required for IFTA Renewal” letter if additional information is required for their renewal.
Renewal Requirements:
- Carriers must meet Colorado Base Jurisdiction requirements to be renewed. See tax.colorado.gov/IFTA-Colorado-Qualifications for more information.
- Accounts must have a Colorado mailing address and be in good standing (i.e. no missing returns, outstanding balances, etc. through 3Q24).
- Accounts with three-quarters of Colorado-only activity will not be renewed.
Submitting Additional Information:
If more documents are required (e.g., DR7511, IFTA Lease Agreement Certificate with current registrations, county registrations, etc.), to prevent delays, submit these documents by November 15th in Revenue Online and indicate that they are for the 2025 license.
Verify Your Mailing Address: Your mailing address must be current to receive information; this includes your license and decals.
