(Iowa DNR News) – – Off-highway vehicle owners can now renew their registrations for all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), off-road utility vehicles (ORVs), off-road motorcycles (ORM), and snowmobiles. The registration window opened Sept. 1 and closes Dec. 31, 2025. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says to renew a registration, visit any County Recorder’s office, or go to the Iowa DNR’s online licensing site: gooutdoorsiowa.com. Allow 5-10 business days for online registrations to arrive in the mail.

Fees for OHV and snowmobile registrations support grant programs to develop and maintain off-highway vehicle parks and snowmobile trails in Iowa.

Owners with new machines, or who have not yet registered their vehicles, need to go the County Recorder’s office in their county of residence to begin the registration process.
