Registering a recreational vehicle (RV) or motor home in Washington is essentially the same as registering a car. Washington motorists have 30 days to register their RV with the Department of Licensing (DOL). To do this, you'll need to go in person to a DOL Vehicle Licensing Office.

RV and motor home registration fees are:

• $111.75

In addition, there may be:

• $5 subagent fee

• Inspection fees

• Regional Transportation Authority tax (King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties)

• Some cities also require a local benefit district fee

If you're renewing your vehicle registration, you can use the fee calculator to figure out what you'll pay. Otherwise, contact your DMV office to figure out your grand total.

Every two years, these counties require emissions testing:

• Clark

• King

• Pierce

• Snohomish

• Spokane

To register your RV or motor home in Washington, you will need the following:

• Manufacturer's Statement or Certificate of Origin, if the RV is new

• Current title and registration for a used RV or motor home

• Photocopy or fax of the title from your bank if the vehicle is under a lien

• Emissions certificate, if required

• Proper identification

• Odometer reading if the motor home is less than 10 years old
