What if I'm not sure if I need the subscription? If I sign up, but never use it, will I still be charged the $100 subscription fee?

You can always contact our help desk if you are unsure about applying for the subscription and have additional questions. If you have already applied, but have never used the service, just make sure to contact the help desk to close the account before you are billed for the next year. That way we can waive the original $100 fee.

Can I pay for subscriptions by credit card?

No, you must pay either by paper check or by e-check (ACH).

When will I get charged the first subscription fee?

The initial $100 annual subscription fee will be billed on your first invoice at the time of sign-up and then once every year when the account is up for renewal.

Will we be charged $100 for each service we subscribe to?

No, the $100 annual subscription fee covers all service under one umbrella. However, each service does have a price per transaction.

DOT Oversize/Overweight Permit Subscriber FAQs

What happened to reducible and non-reducible load permits?

Reducible load permits are now referred to as divisible load permits. Non-reducible load permits are now referred to as non-divisible load permits.

What permits are available online?

Non-divisible load trip permits, annual divisible load permits, and annual non-divisible load construction equipment permits (blanket permits). You may purchase temporary IRP trip permits online by visiting https://www.ri.gov/DMV/irp

Do I need a subscription to purchase oversize/overweight permits online?

No, you do not. The subscription is for those who request a high volume of permits and prefer the convenience of receiving a monthly invoice rather than pay-as-you-go.

Will I need a username and password for the new system?

Yes, you will need to create an online account. However, you do not need to complete a subscription application unless you determine that you would benefit from an RI.gov subscription.

Please Note: Those who currently hold a subscription for OSOW Permits may sign in with their current passwords. Those who no longer hold an OSOW Permits subscription may reopen the account or use Pay-As-You-Go option, however, you will need to contact rihelp@egov.com to have your credentials reset. If you have never been a subscriber, but have applied for permits in the past, your email address will already be in the system; you will need to click "forgot password" and a link will be emailed to you to reset your password.

Do vehicles registered in Rhode Island need divisible load permits?

Yes. They are still required and are available at no charge

What payment options do I have?

There are three options for payment:

(1) Become a Subscriber with RI.gov/Rhode Island Interactive to receive a monthly invoice and pay by mailing in a check or sign up to have your payment automatically debited from a checking account via ACH (eCheck). A $75 annual subscription fee will apply.
(2) Pay-as-you-go (by credit card)
(3) Pay-as-you-go (by ACH/eCheck)

What is the difference between a divisible and a non-divisible load?

Divisible loads are loads that will decrease in size; for example, a load of bricks. Non-divisible loads are loads that cannot be divided; for example, a backhoe.

What is the difference between a blanket permit and a non-divisible load permit?

A blanket permit is an annual permit, which covers all of your vehicles and has more stringent restrictions on size, weight, etc. A non-divisible permit is one time, and you can submit whatever you want in terms of route, size, weight, etc.

Will decals still be sent in the mail for divisible load permits?

No, you will now be able to print out the permit and place it in the vehicle instead.

I have questions about what restrictions apply to an oversize/overweight permit. Who should I contact?

Please contact Sam Hawkes at the Department of Transportation (DOT) at 401-563-4582 or Samuel.Hawkes@dot.ri.gov.
