ATTENTION NON-RESIDENT SNOWMOBILERS
Snowmobiles bearing Wisconsin registration are not required to have a nonresident
trail pass, even if the owner is from out of state.
A two year Wisconsin registration is $30.00, compared to two trail passes at $70.00 for
two years. Almost two times the money is generated with a two year registration as is with two trail
passes due to the formula used to transfer gas tax revenue to the state snowmobile fund; the state
snowmobile fund is where the money comes from for grooming and trail maintenance. By having Wisconsin
registration instead of a trail pass, you save $40.00 every two years and contribute more money
to the state fund.
It is perfectly legal to have Wisconsin registration on your snowmobile in addition to your home
state's registration. You do not need a Wisconsin address; your home address can be used for a Wisconsin
registration. Once you have a Wisconsin registration, it can be renewed online at the DNR website.
Wisconsin registration applications can be obtained at any DNR office, at any dealer who sells snowmobiles
in Wisconsin, and at many dealers out of state near the Wisconsin border.
