ATV REGISTRATION & TITLING
Pennsylvania’s Department of Conservation and Natural Resources requires all ATVs and Snowmobiles to be registered and titled.
The type of registration you need depends on where you plan to ride your ATV/Snowmobile:
General Registration — Permits the ATV to be use off the owners property.
- You will receive a registration plate, an expiration sticker, and a Certificate of Registration wallet card.
Limited Registration — For ATVs used exclusively on the owners property
- You will receive a registration plate and a card, but no expiration sticker.
In Pennsylvania, registration is not required for:
• ATVs used exclusively as utility vehicles for agricultural or business operations.
• ATVs owned by nonresidents covered by a valid registration in their state, province, or country that honors Pennsylvania registration.
• ATVs owned and used by a federal, state, or local government body.
• ATVs owned by a dealer who has been issued a dealer registration certificate and used only in connection with the dealer’s business.
ATV TITLES
All ATVs in Pennsylvania must have a title issued by DCNR. The cost of a title is $22.50. The exceptions to this requirement are for:
- ATVs registered with DCNR prior to February 12, 1987 -- these ATVs do not require a title until they are sold by the owner
- ATVs used exclusively as utility vehicles for agricultural or business operations
- ATVs owned and used by a federal, state, or local government body
- ATVs owned by a dealer before and until sale
- ATVs owned by a nonresident
- ATVs owned by a Pennsylvania resident, but registered and used in another state
