Registration
Registering your snowmobile is important and is required by the law in every state and province. You must register in order to operate your snowmobile on the trails and areas open to the public. In most cases, your registration fee goes back into the state’s/province’s snowmobile program to provide trails and riding areas. Once you have paid the registration fee, you will receive a certificate and adhesive decals. This certificate should be carried on the snowmobile. The decals are to be attached permanently to the snowmobile as directed by the information supplied with your certificate. If these decals are not attached to the snowmobile, you may be stopped by law enforcement.
Trails Pass/User Fee/Out-of-State Registration
Some states
and provinces
require snowmobiles to also have a trail pass or pay a trail user fee in addition to the registration decal. Additionally, when visiting other states or provinces, you may be required to purchase a trail pass, pay a user fee or even that area’s snowmobile registration. This is typically another decal to be affixed to the machine. Always be sure to check the local regulations when visiting other areas.
