Background
Nevada's program to register and title off-highway vehicles went into effect July 1, 2012. Nearly all off-highway vehicles greater than 70cc, and 1976 or newer, must be registered and display a registration decal to operate legally in Nevada. The cost for an annual registration is $20.00. Applications are accepted and decals are issued by mail only. Additionally, OHV dealers must be specifically licensed to sell off-highway vehicles.
Why Register?

- Improve trails and facilities
- Protect the land through education and enforcement
- Protect your vehicles against theft
- Keep Nevada dollars in Nevada
- Encourage tourism
- Registration is now the law in all western states
