Off Road Vehicles (ORV)

Registering a Off Road Vehicle (ORV)

ORV's are titled through the Secretary of State.  While a registration is not issued, ORV's used on public land must display an annual ORV decal.  ORV decals can be purchased from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) issue ORV decals

Three and Four-wheel All-terrain Vehicles Cannot be Used on Public Roads

Three and four-wheel all-terrain vehicles (ATV) cannot be upgraded for on-road use.  ATV's are manufactured with a live axle, rather than a differential gear, which seriously affects their handling characteristics when operated on paved surfaces.
