Information about ATV registration (taken from the WI DNR):
All operators at least age 12 and born on or after Jan. 1, 1988 must complete an ATV Safety Certification course in order to operate on public ATV trails and areas in Wisconsin.
Operators of all terrain vehicles (ATV) now have a convenient online method to receive ATV Safety Certification through an Internet Web course recently introduced by the state Department of Natural Resources. The Internet course is available at www.offroad-ed.com/wi. As an alternative, check the DNR’s Upcoming Recreational Safety Education Classes. Web page to find classroom courses available around the state.
The All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Registration Application MUST BE VALIDATED prior to operation of the machine.
ATV Registrations Online - a quick and convenient way to register with a credit card (Visa® MasterCard®). ATV owners who register online can also print the validation receipt that will allow them to operate their ATV while they wait for the new registration certificate and decals. This service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Wisconsin law requires those who use Wisconsin ATV trails to display either Wisconsin registration or an ATV trail pass. Funds from this program will be designated for use as trail aids and related costs to enhance all Wisconsin ATV recreation. The trail pass may be purchased over the counter at any license sales location.
When used safely and wisely an all terrain vehicle (ATV) can provide a source of fun and family recreation. When used unwisely by an untrained, inexperienced operator, an all-terrain vehicle can be very, very dangerous. With safety in mind, an all-terrain vehicle can be a useful tool for work and a great means of exploring the outdoors.
It is the responsibility of all ATV operators to make the sport a safe one. Take an ATV Safety Course.
Disabled hunters holding a class A, B or C permit may be eligible for a special motorized vehicle permit and limited access to state lands for hunting purposes.

Continuing in our series of articles analyzing the ATV laws in every state, which stemmed from this article, we are addressing the ATV laws in Wisconsin in this article. It should also be noted that, while I am an attorney, I am not your attorney, not licensed in Wisconsin and am not giving legal advice. If you have questions, you should consult a local attorney.
Wisconsin defines an ATV or All-Terrain Vehicle as “a commercially designed and manufactured motor-driven device that has a weight, without fluids, of 900 pounds or less, has a width of 50 inches or less, is equipped with a seat designed to be straddled by the operator and on 3 or more low-pressure or non-pneumatic tires.” Note, Wisconsin also defines a separate category of ATVs as “small all-terrain vehicles.” The definition of a small ATV is “an all-terrain vehicle that has 4 wheels and that has either an engine certified by the manufacturer at not more than 130 cubic centimeters or an equivalent power unit.” To get an idea for what ATVs fit into Wisconsin’s definitions, check out these guides to ATV Weight and ATV Dimension. Small Utility Terrain Vehicle—means a utility terrain vehicle that has 4 wheels and that has either an engine certified by the manufacturer at not more than 200 cubic centimeters or an equivalent power unit. Wisconsin defines a UTV or Utility Terrain Vehicle as “a commercially designed and manufactured motor driven device that does not meet federal motor vehicle safety standards in effect on July 1, 2012, that is not a golf cart, low-speed vehicle, dune buggy, mini-truck, or tracked vehicle, that is designed to be used primarily off of a highway, and that has, and was originally manufactured with, all of the following:
Similar to small ATVs, Wisconsin also has a separate designation for small UTVs. A Small Utility Terrain Vehicle is defined as “a utility terrain vehicle that has 4 wheels and that has either an engine certified by the manufacturer at not more than 200 cubic centimeters or an equivalent power unit.” To get an idea for what UTVs fit into Wisconsin’s definitions, check out these guides to UTV Weight and UTV Dimension.
You are required to register your ATV as an ATV and your UTV as a UTV if you plan to ride on any public land in Wisconsin. Registration must be completed within 10 days of the purchase of the ATV or UTV. If you purchased from a dealer, they have 5 days to submit the registration. Note that, should your ATV meet all the definition of an ATV except it is too heavy and/or wide, it can be registered as a UTV. Small ATVs and UTVs must also be registered. Upon registering your ATV or UTV, you will received a temporary operating receipt that you must carry with you while riding until you receive, by mail, your two registration decals. You are required to display a decal on each side of your ATV or UTV, in front of the operator, in a place where they are visible to law enforcement.
The only exception to this registration requirement for non-exempt vehicles is the first full weekend every June, when you are free to ride ATVs and UTVs without complying with the registration and trail pass requirements.
If you qualify, you may register your ATV or UTV under Private Use, Agricultural. This registration costs $15 and lasts until ownership of the ATV or UTV is transferred. You may only take advantage of this registration option if your ATV or UTV is used for an agricultural purpose. Agricultural purpose is defined as “a purpose related to the transportation of farm implements, equipment, supplies, or products on a farm or between farms. This form of registration is valid during operation on public roads for agricultural purposes, but is not valid for operation on public, frozen waterways or public lands otherwise open to ATVs/UTVs. If you want to use your ATV or UTV recreationally as well, you may dual register it for public use also. You may also register an ATV or UTV under Private Use, Non-Agricultural. This form of registration is available if you use your ATV or UTV exclusively on private property owned by you or an immediate family member. Like the agricultural registration, this registration also costs $15 and remains valid until ownership of the ATV or UTV is transferred.
After you register your ATV or UTV in Wisconsin, you are required to attach a license plate to the rear of the ATV or UTV, unless your obtained a private registration. Unfortunately, this plate is not included with your registration, and you must either construct your own plate or purchase one. The license plate must be at least 4 inches high and 7 1/2 inches wide. It must be white in color and display in black characters the four-number and two-letter registration ID you were issued for the ATV or UTV. The characters must be at least 1.5 inches high with a minimum brush stroke of 3/16 of an inch wide.
If you are not a Wisconsin resident, you either need to obtain a valid Public Use registration for your ATV or UTV, or you will need to obtain and display a non-resident trail pass. When you purchase an annual trail pass, you will receive a temporary operating receipt that you must carry with you to operate your ATV or UTV in Wisconsin until you receive the trail pass decal, which should arrive by mail in 2 weeks or less. The annual trail pass expires each year on March 31, regardless of when it was purchased. You may purchase the annual trail pass online, at select authorized sales locations or by calling WDNR at 1-888-WDNRINFo (1-888-936-7463). If you do not want to purchase an annual trail pass, you may choose the 5-day Trail Pass. This pass must be printed from your computer or the Go Wild location where it is purchased. You must carry the pass with you whenever you are operating your ATV or UTV in Wisconsin during the 5 days. You do not receive a sticker or decal with the 5-day pass. Note, you do not need a license plate if you are operating with an trail pass instead of a registration.
When you change your address, you must submit written notification within 15 days to DNR. The notification must include your new address and the certificate number for the ATV or UTV you own. This process can also be accomplished by changing your address in your GoWild account information.
Other ATV and UTV registration exemptions in Wisconsin include the following:
The following regulations apply for youth operation of ATVs and/or UTVs in Wisconsin:
There are a number of exceptions to the safety certificate requirements in Wisconsin. A safety certificate is not required in the following circumstances:
As discussed above, you may register your ATV or UTV for private use, agricultural. This registration requires the ATV or UTV be used only for agricultural purposes, which means “a purpose related to the transportation of farm implements, equipment, supplies, or products on a farm or between farms.” Note that operation between a dwelling and a farm or piece of non-agricultural property does not meet an agricultural purpose unless the dwelling is on the same piece of property as the farm. The following regulations apply to ATVs and UTVs registered for private use, agricultural:
Most ATV and UTV trail riding opportunities in Wisconsin are located on County owned land, with some also available on State and Federal lands. Generally, ATV and UTV operation is strictly restricted to designated and marked ATV trails and routes only. Marked ATV Trails in Wisconsin are generally open to UTV operation unless specifically marked as closed to UTVs. ATV trails in Wisconsin are identified by small (6”x6”) brown signs with the white silhouette of an ATV and orange blazer (diamond) signs. An ATV trail will generally never be on a road or in a ditch, whereas an ATV route may be. You may encounter some trails that are designated as multiple use trails. These trails typically permit horses, motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs and bicyclists. Unlike an ATV trail, an ATV Route is a public roadway that is designated as being open to legal ATV and UTV use. Routes are designated through passage of a local ordinance and posted with ATV Route (24”x 18”) green signs with the white silhouette of an ATV along with appropriate directional arrows. All roads designated as ATV Routes must be signed at the beginning and end of a route and at such intervals that enable riders to follow the route. You can find ATV Routes through your local law enforcement agency as ATV Route ordinances must be filed with any law enforcement agencies that have jurisdiction over the roadway. Official copies of all ATV Route ordinances are also filed with the Department of Natural Resources located at: WI DNR ATV Safety Program 101 South Webster Street LE/8 Madison,WI 53707. You will have to haul your ATV or UTV to any route or trail as there is no residential access allowance that permits you to ride on a roadway from your house to a trail or route. When it comes to riding on snowmobile trails in Wisconsin, there is, unfortunately, no state-wide rule to make it easy. Different counties in Wisconsin have different rules for whether or not you can operate ATVs or UTVs on snowmobile trails. That being the case, you should check with your county before you head out to ride on any snowmobile trails. Note, simply adding tracks to an ATV or UTV does not permit you to ride on a snowmobile trail. Also, be careful as snowmobile trails, like ATV trails, are also marked by an orange blazer to mark the pathway of a trail. Finally, you are not permitted to operate your ATV or UTV in any navigable water or on the exposed bed of any navigable water (including exposed lake beds) except in the following circumstances:
Note, “Bed of a navigable water” refers to “all of the area below the ordinary high water mark of a lake or stream.” If you aren’t sure about riding in a location, you should check with local County, State and Federal offices for special regulations. Here are some ideas:
While ATV and UTV use is permitted on designated routes, it is otherwise prohibited on public streets and highways in Wisconsin that have not been designated as Routes. Despite this general prohibition, operation of ATVs and UTVs is permitted on the streets in Wisconsin in the following circumstances:
In situations where you are permitted to operate an ATV or UTV on the street in Wisconsin, you must abide by the following:
Generally, you are not permitted to operate an ATV or UTV on the unimproved right-of-way or ditch on the side of a public street. The exceptions where such operation is permitted are as follows:
Note that operation of an ATV or UTV is never permitted on the right-of-way or ditch alongside an Interstate Highway. In addition, you should know that when you are legally operating alongside roadways during the hours of darkness, you must ride in the same direction as motor vehicle traffic in the nearest lane unless the trail or route is located at least 40 feet from the roadway or separated by a headlight barrier. When you are riding during the day, you may ride in either direction regardless of the flow of motor vehicle traffic.
The following equipment regulations apply to ATVs and UTVs in Wisconsin:
If you are in an ATV or UTV accident in Wisconsin that results in death or an injury requiring treatment by a physician must be reported as soon as possible to a Conservation Warden or other law enforcement officer. In addition, you must file a written report of the incident within 10 days to the DNR. The Incident Report can be obtained dnr.wi.gov. Just search for crash.
There are no blanket restrictions against hunting on an ATV or UTV, however the following restrictions are applicable.
You may operate an ATV or UTV with a snow removal device attached for snow removal purposes and under the following restrictions:

An SUV doesn't mean the New York City Department of Motor Vehicles is out of sight. You must still register off-road vehicles, including all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and snowmobiles.
Although trailers are not considered off-road vehicles, the DMV considers them worthy of registration.
You must register your ATV even if you restrict its use to receive mail from the end of your road. However, there are a few exceptions. You do not need to register if your ATV is exclusively used:
To register, you must visit a DMV office and:
If you plan to use your zoom snowmobile in any New York State area, you must register it. If you are out of state and planning to drive in New York, you must still register it with the New York DMV, even if your vehicle is registered in your state.

You can now renew your snowmobile registration online.
Not all trailers must be registered in New York State. Before rushing to the DMV office to register, check the DMV's "Vehicles with a Trailer Not Requiring Registration" list to see if you are exempt.
Homemade and custom trailers, however, must be registered. But before you write your name in any form, make sure your trailer meets DMV trailer requirements.
You will need a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for your trailer before registering. To do this, you must first determine the dead weight of your trailer by weighing it on certified scales and obtaining a certified load list.
Contact the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets at (800) 554-4501 with questions.
If your trailer weighs less than 1,000 pounds, you must visit a DMV office and complete the Homemade Trailer Vehicle Identification Number (MV-272 Form). Make sure you have proof of ownership and proof of identity. If everything is in order, you will be assigned a VIN, which should be permanently affixed (think welding) to your trailer.
If your trailer weighs 1,000 pounds or more, you must visit a DMV office and obtain a Vehicle Identification Number for a Homemade Trailer (Form MV-272) and a New York State Insurance Identification Form (neither can be downloaded) .Follow the instructions on the form.
The DMV will then mail you information on when and where to inspect the trailer along with a Temporary Transport Permit (Form MV-82ITP). Be sure to show proof of inspection of the parts you used to make the trailer. If you pass registration, the DMV will review your VIN application form and assign a VIN.
Don't forget to keep your verified VIN application. You will need this as proof of registration.
Take the following documents to the DMV office:
You will then be issued with a license plate, number sticker and registration certificate.
If your unladen trailer weight is less than 1,000 pounds, your registration will be stamped "transferable". This will be your permanent proof of ownership.
If your trailer has a curb weight of 1,000 pounds. or more, your registration will be marked "non-transferable." This is a temporary document. Your permanent title and registration certificate will be mailed within 90 days.
If you own a RV or RV in New York, the DMV requires you to register it before you take it on the road. Due to excess weight, your RV or RV may be subject to heavy vehicle inspection as defined by the International Registration Plan (IRP). For more information, you can visit the NY DMV IRP or contact the DMV directly.
Registering your custom car in New York is different than registering a regular car. NY DMV offers a convenient application package with all the required documents that you can request by calling (518) 474-5282 or mailing:
Motor Vehicle Safety Service Room 220C
Albany, NY 12228
Some Steps You Need take your custom car for registration:
All required information and forms will be included in your application package. For more information, see New York DMV Instructions for Registering a Homemade Vehicle.
You must register a moped or scooter in New York following the same rules as motorcycle registration.
Depending on the class of your moped, you will need at least a regular student or driver's license. Some mopeds require a motorcycle license or permit to operate.
More information can be found on our scooters and mopeds page.
