NEW YORK STATE - The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles is reminding riders to register their snowmobiles ahead of the upcoming winter as snowmobile registrations must be renewed annually.

DMV allows snowmobilers to renew registrations online on the DMV website, by mail or in person at a DMV office.

“I’m optimistic this will be a fun winter for snowmobilers and other outdoor enthusiasts in New York,” said Mark J.F. Schroeder, DMV Commissioner and Chair of the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee. “So, before the snow flies, remember your snowmobile registration must be renewed every year. DMV is here to help customers get registered and ready for the trails.” 

All snowmobiles operated in New York State must be registered and marked with a valid sticker. Riders who complete a registration online can print a temporary certificate, which is valid for 15 days. DMV generates a permanent registration card and mails it to the recipient along with their sticker. There is no added charge for the temporary certificate.
