RV & Motorhome Registration

There are more than 260,000 RVs registered in Michigan―and there are more on the way. Only three other states have more motor homes being sold per year than Michigan.

It’s no surprise.

Michigan has an expansive park system that is well represented in state, national, local, and private campgrounds. The majority of them already offer amenities for recreational vehicles, and many are upgrading their facilities to provide better water, electrical, and sanitary hookups.

In Michigan, all RVs must be titled and registered and carry Michigan no-fault insurance. In fact, registering a motor home is just like registering your car or truck.

A registration is good for a year (it expires on your birthday) and can be renewed in person at any Secretary of State branch office, by mail, using a touch-tone phone, or online.

A new registration for your motor home will require a trip to a Secretary of State branch office. Bring your proof of Michigan no-fault insurance, proof of ownership (the title or bill of sale), and either cash, a check, or a money order. Branch offices do not accept credit or debit cards.

Fees for registering motor homes are based on the value of your motor home when you purchased it.
