« It`s important to think smart before you start, » said Lieutenant Martin Stone, MNR`s Off-Road Vehicle Administrator. « Winter temperature fluctuations, snowfall and snowmelt can lead to dangerous conditions on snowmobile trails. MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is reminding snowmobilers that safety is an important part of the journey. Snowmobiles must be registered within 10 days of purchase. Wisconsin State Law 350.125 requires snowmobile dealers to submit the application for registration to the DNR within 5 days of the date of sale and provide the purchaser with a validated registration receipt (i.e. signed by the dealer). A $5 wire transfer fee is required to transfer the registration certificate of a snowmobile already registered in Wisconsin to a new licensee. Note: A snowmobile pass may also be required for use on public trails. You can update vehicle information online through your DNR customer account or notify the ministry by email. To update the information online, you must access your customer account under GoWild.wi.gov, select « My vehicles » and click on the « Update » button.

Remember that no ice cream is safe ice. Snowmobile registration stickers must be affixed to both sides of the snowmobile hood with their own sticker and must be clearly visible to law enforcement at all times. Two stickers are issued on each snowmobile. If necessary, the snowmobile pass must also be attached to the windshield of the snowmobile. The registration certificate must also be carried by the operator at all times and presented to law enforcement authorities upon request. You can legally use your snowmobile while carrying the temporary use receipt with you while waiting for your new stickers to arrive in the mail.
