How to Register an OHV or ATV in Alaska
Alaska requires OHV registration for use on public trails and public lands. Here is how to obtain your permit:
1
Identify Your Permit Type
Determine whether you need a resident or non-resident permit, and whether you need an annual permit or a short-term permit for a specific trip. Alaska Department of Natural Resources may offer different permit types for ATVs, dirt bikes, UTVs, and other OHV categories.
2
Gather Vehicle Information
Have your vehicle's make, model, year, and vehicle identification number (VIN) or serial number ready. You may also need proof of ownership (title or bill of sale) and a valid photo ID. If the vehicle is highway-registered, bring that documentation too.
3
Apply and Pay Fees
Apply online at Alaska Department of Natural Resources: Register online →. Resident permit fee: $20.00. Non-resident fee: $40.00.
4
Display Your OHV Decal
Affix the OHV permit decal or sticker to your vehicle as specified by Alaska Department of Natural Resources. Carry your registration certificate when riding on public lands. Rangers and enforcement officers routinely check for valid permits on popular trail systems.
