What Are Registration Requirements?
On or before January 1^st of each year, the owner of any ATV or motorcycle, used off public-highways must register the machine with the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation. The department or its authorized vendor will issue the owner a registration and a registration sticker. The registration fee is $10 which will include a $1.50 vendor fee.

At the time of sale from any dealer, each off-highway motorcycle or ATV must be registered before it leaves the premises, according to section 67-7122, Idaho Code.

The purchaser of an off-highway motorcycle or ATV, which has been previously registered, must transfer the registration within 15 days of the sale. The transfer fee is $3.00. An application for an Idaho title must be filed at the nearest county assessor's office.

The registration sticker needs to be placed upon the Motorcycle or ATV in such a manner that it is completely visible. The registration sticker also needs to be kept in a legible condition.

Registration requirements do not apply to non-resident owners until the owner operates the vehicle for over 30 days in Idaho. After that time, non-resident owners are subject to the registration requirements.
What is the Motorbike Recreation Account?

$7.23 of the $10 fee collected from the sale of an off-highway vehicle registration is deposited into the Motorbike Recreational Account. The money from this account can be used as follows:

For securing special leases or permits, or the actual purchase of land under private, state or federal ownership to be used for recreational off-highway vehicle activity;
For securing, maintenance, construction or development of trails and other facilities for off-highway vehicle use on state and federal lands;
To finance the formulation and implementation of an off-the-road rider education program;
To acquire applicable federal matching funds.
