How to Register an Off-road Vehicle

Off-road vehicles such as ATVs, side-by-sides (UTVs), dirt bikes, snowmobiles etc. must be registered. The fee is paid one-time for as long as you own the vehicle.

To register a new or used off-road vehicle you must make an appointment

What do I bring to my appointment?

  • A vehicle registration application
  • New Vehicle Information Statement NVIS (issued by the manufacturer for new vehicles)
  • The bill of sale (for a used vehicle this is on the back of the vehicle registration form; its completed by the seller) or use our convenient Bill of Sale template
    • If the seller is an HST/GST registrant, include the HST/GST registrant’s number and amount of HST/GST collected by registrant.
    • Signature(s) of the previous owner(s) required

What if the Bill of Sale is from an individual who is not the registered owner, or the history of owners cannot be traced?

  • If the vehicle has not been reported stolen, the Registrar can approve the registration of the vehicle. You will require:
    • A sworn affidavit signed by the purchaser
    • An Indemnity Form signed by purchaser
