This law, known as Senate Bill S2702, became effective in February 2024. The law also raised the minimum age for supervisors of young riders on public lands from 16 to 18. Now, any ATV operator under 16 must be under the supervision of someone over 18, who must also possess an ATV safety certificate.
Despite their registration and insurance requirements in New York City, ATVs are not street-legal vehicles.
To register a quad in New York without a title, you need to provide an alternative proof of ownership, such as a notarized bill of sale, an affidavit of ownership, or a transferable registration from the previous owner.
To register an ATV, you must provide proof of who you are. You must provide proof of identity, date of birth, and at least six points of proof of name. For the most recent listing of acceptable documents see Proofs of Identity For Registration and Title (PDF) (ID-82).
An all-terrain vehicle (ATV) is usually made for one rider to go off-roading. A utility task vehicle (UTV) is a larger type of ATV designed to haul heavier loads and perhaps allow additional passengers.
You may not operate an ATV on a highway unless it has been designated and posted for ATV use by the state or local authority. Usually, only the part of a highway between two off-highway trails will be posted for ATV use.
If you are registering your ATV (whether purchased in Vermont or out-of-state) for the first time in Vermont, you must complete the Vermont Registration application (VD-119) and comply with all requirements indicated on it. Registration plates are assigned and mailed to you unless you indicate otherwise.
You can register your vehicle through the State's online DMV portal ( ), by mail or through another participating town clerk's office.
To register a vehicle in Vermont, you must be a Vermont resident with a Vermont-issued credential (Driver's License or Non-Driver Identification card).
