You know you must title and register your passenger car, pickup truck, or motorcycle―but what about other types of vehicles?

Off-Road Vehicles and ATVs

Illinois requires you to title your off-road vehicle and ATV, but you do not have to register them. You'll need to complete Form VSD-190, the Application for Vehicle Transaction. This form is not available online, but you can pick up a copy at your local Secretary of State office. The title fee is $65.

Snowmobiles

Snowmobiles must be registered and titled in Illinois, but this process isn't handled by the Secretary of State. Instead, all snowmobile registrations and renewals are handled by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

To apply, complete a snowmobile registration application and submit it to:

• Illinois Department of Natural Resources

• Snowmobiles

• P.O. Box 19226

• Springfield, IL 62794-9226

Enclose an $30 fee, which includes a registration card and two decals. The registration is valid for three years.

Non-resident Trail Use Pass

You must purchase a $25 trail pass if you're from out of state and your snowmobile is not registered in Illinois.

Snowmobile Liability Insurance

Liability insurance is required when riding on public trails.

Watercraft

You must title and register your watercraft in Illinois. This applies to both boats and personal watercraft such as Jet Skis. Complete a watercraft registration application and submit it to:

• Illinois Department of Natural Resources

• Watercraft

• P.O. Box 19226

• Springfield, IL 62794-9226

New registrations cost from $13 to $107, depending on the type of vessel. Check out DMV.org's Boat Registration pages for more details.

Trailers

All trailers must be titled and registered. The yearly license plate fee for a small trailer (up to 3,000 pounds) is $18. The title and registration process is the same for car registrations.
