How to Get a Temporary NY HUT Permit (72-Hour Trip Certificate)

September 7, 2026

A temporary NY HUT permit—often called a 72-hour trip certificate—lets qualifying carriers operate legally in New York for a limited consecutive period without completing full HUT registration first.

When a temporary permit makes sense

  • First-time or infrequent trips into New York
  • Urgent loads that cannot wait for sticker registration and mail delivery of a decal
  • Testing a New York lane before committing to ongoing HUT account maintenance

If you run New York miles regularly, a HUT sticker / full registration is usually the better long-term path.

Information you typically need

  • USDOT number and taxpayer ID (EIN or SSN, as applicable)
  • Legal business name and contact details
  • Vehicle data: VIN, plate, jurisdiction, gross weight, and related specs
  • Planned start date for the temporary authorization window

How the process works with NY Permits

  1. Choose the 72-hour HUT permit product and enter company and vehicle details.
  2. We prepare and submit the filing to New York State Tax.
  3. After approval, you receive a digital certificate by email for your records and roadside readiness.

Expedited processing is available when you need same-day handling for eligible submissions. Standard and expedited fees are shown at checkout.

Before you cross the border

Carry proof of your temporary certificate, confirm the effective dates match your dispatch, and verify that each VIN on the load is covered. Operating without a valid HUT credential can lead to fines, delays, and enforcement stops.
