All the truck owners in Mississippi concerned with the running of a commercial truck must renew it on an annual basis, including:
Any truck running in or through Biloxi, Tupelo, Meridian, Olive Branch, Oxford, Pearl, or Madison will therefore need renewal of registration regardless of the length of route or nature of cargo.
In-Person Renewal at County Tax Office
Most commercial trucks in Mississippi are renewed in-person. This goes for most truck owners in Meridian, Columbus, Greenville, Natchez, and Vicksburg.
Typically, you will need the following:
Current registration
Proof of insurance
Weight details of the vehicle
Valid identifications
Registration and weight fee payment
IRP Truck Registration Renewal
If a truck runs across state lines, it must be renewed under the International Registration Plan (IRP).
An IRP truck renewal in Mississippi needs to have:
Records for mileage
Apportioned weight data
Proof of insurance
Valid Form 2290 Schedule 1 for heavy vehicles
Numerous interstate fleets from Jackson, Southaven, Gulfport, and Tupelo would be following the timelines for IRP, as opposed to the usually applicable ones for intrastate.
Truck registration in Mississippi is different from most states, as it is not handled through the Department of Motor Vehicles but rather through the Department of Revenue (DOR). Registration of the commercial vehicles is processed at the county tax collector's office located within the county where the owner's truck is registered. Truck owners from Hinds County (Jackson), Harrison County (Gulfport-Biloxi), DeSoto County (Southaven, Olive Branch), and Forrest County (Hattiesburg) renew their truck registration locally through their respective county offices.
Mississippi bases its staggered renewal system on:
Any truck with an amount taxable gross weight that is more than 55,000 pounds should file IRS Form 2290 (Heavy Vehicle Use Tax) before the renewal of registration. The following are required:
Without this Form 2290, no truck registration renewal will be done in any of the counties in Mississippi.
Mississippi truck registration fees depend on:
Heavier trucks operating out of logistics hubs like Olive Branch, Southaven, Pearl, and Gulfport generally pay higher weight-based fees.
All of these problems are usually flagged during DOT roadside inspections. Cities Where Truck Registration Renewal Is Commonly Processed

Each county may have slightly different documentation procedures, but compliance requirements remain the same statewide.
Timely registration means:
For truck owners in Mississippi, DMV (DOR) registration renewal is a huge compliance piece and not just paperwork. From a single truck in Natchez to encompass fleets in Jackson or Southaven, staying ahead of renewal deadlines is key in keeping business alive and trucks running. If renewal requires Form 2290, filing it early gives a smooth ride while registering at the county tax office.
The assistance provided was beyond expectations. This was my first time doing it, and their support stayed with me until everything was completed. It took me longer because I was multitasking and they waited whileI was getting other things done. Thank you! The best service I have ever received from any phone support.

I have been using Simple Truck Tax for six years now to file our yearly 2290. It is simple to use, and they file it quickly. I have a login, and it is easy to add and remove trucks. They remember my information, so I don't have to upload it again the following year. I definitely recommend their 2290 service.
