Snowmobiles

Virginia's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is more lenient than most other state DMV offices when it comes to registering off-road recreational vehicles.

According to Virginia Code 46.2-679, you do not have to license or register your snowmobile.

All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV)

According to Virginia Code 46.2-679.1, you do not have to register or license your ATV.

Trailer Registration

Virginia's DMV gives you the convenient option of registering your trailer annually, bi-annually or permanently. Complete a Vehicle Registration Application and drop it off at any customer service center. Be sure to bring identification and proof of ownership (bill or sale or title). Fees are based on weight and length of registration. The following rates all pertain to one year:

• 0-1,500 pounds: $18

• 1,501-4,000 pounds: $28.50

• 4,001 or more pounds: $40

• Single weight trailer (travel trailer for lodging purposes): $29.50

If you opt for permanent registration you must complete a Vehicle Registration Application. In return the DMV will mail you a registration certificate and a license plate inscribed with the word "Permanent." If you so desire, order personalized plates for an additional one-time fee of $10. Permanent registration fees are as follows:

• 0-1,500 pounds: $70

• 1,501-4,000 pounds: $75

• 4,001 or more pounds: $100
