SNOWMOBILE REGISTRATION RENEWALS.
You can renew a snowmobile right on your Go Wild kiosk.  Select the RENEW VEHICLES page to the left for more information on how to renew.  Note: you are able to process renewals only.  Customers who wish to transfer ownership of a snowmobile must do so online at gowild.wi.gov, or at a DNR service center.

WHO NEEDS A SNOWMOBILE TRAIL PASS?
All snowmobiles riding on Wisconsin public trails require a snowmobile trail pass, which is separate from snowmobile registration.  Select the TRAIL PASSES page to the left for more information, or print out a trail pass information sheet HERE.  SALES TIP:  Ask the customer where their snowmobile is registered before choosing which pass they will need:​

  • ​The Wisconsin Snowmobile Trail Pass is for snowmobiles registered in Wisconsin.
  • The Nonresident Snowmobile Trail Pass is for snowmobiles registered elsewhere.  
  • NOTICE:  The reduced rate AWSC "Club Member pass' is not available on Go Wild.  Customers must order those directly from the Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs (AWSC.org).​
PLEASE NOTE:  ​Trail passes are nonrefundable after the day they are sold.  The physical decal is mailed next day, so voids/refunds may only be done the same day of the sale.​  ​
