Registering Your OHV

Nevada's program to register and title OHVs went into effect July 1, 2012. Nearly all OHVs greater than 70cc, as well as those manufactured in 1976 or later, must be registered and display a registration decal to operate legally in Nevada. The cost for an annual registration is $20.00. Applications are accepted and decals are issued by mail only. Additionally, OHV dealers must be specifically licensed to sell OHVs.

Registration forms and procedures differ depending on when and where your vehicle was purchased or whether it is homemade. Your local DMV office does not deal with OHV registration, as it is a separate department. All OHV registration in the state of Nevada is handled via mail-in-style forms. Go to the Off Road Nevada website, which outlines the easy three-step process and has all the correct forms.

• A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) inspection will have to be completed by a licensed Nevada Off-Highway Vehicle dealer or a sworn law enforcement officer. Note: The DMV does not perform VIN inspections, and all registration is by mail.
• Call your local dealer to verify they are conducting VIN inspections. If your vehicle does not currently have a VIN, a VIN Assignment Form will need to be completed. Call the DMV to obtain this form, but remember that the DMV does not perform VIN inspections for OHVs.
• The dealer who completes the inspection may submit the application and other documents on your behalf or you may mail them yourself. Dealers may charge up to $2 for each registration and/or title application submitted.



If the OHV was purchased prior to July 1, 2012, the following is required:

1. Proof the OHV was purchased prior to the effective date by a purchase agreement or the affidavit in Form OHV-001A.
2. Proof you are the owner of the OHV by an ownership document or or the affidavit in Form OHV-001A.
3. Proof of the VIN by a VIN inspection conducted by a Nevada OHV dealer or law enforcement.

If the OHV was purchased on or after July 1, 2012, the following is required:

1. If sales tax is due, proof that sales tax was paid by an Off-Highway Vehicle Report of Sale from a Nevada dealer or a Use Tax Clearance Certificate (Form APP-08.01) from the Department of Taxation. If sales tax is not due (as in a private party sale), the affidavit available in Form OHV-001C must be completed.
2. Proof you are the owner of the OHV by an ownership document or the affidavit available in Form OHV-001B or OHV-001C.
