MV-82SN

The NY DMV MV-82SN form is the official application used to register, renew, or amend a snowmobile registration in New York State. To register a snowmobile for the first time, applicants must provide the completed form along with proof of ownership, a bill of sale, sales tax clearance, and proof of identity and date of birth. Registration fees vary based on whether the owner is a member of a New York State snowmobile club; members pay a reduced total fee of $65 compared to the standard $135, as the Snowmobile Trail Development and Maintenance Fund fee is discounted from $125 to $55 with a valid membership voucher.

The document also facilitates administrative updates, such as replacing lost or damaged registration items (documents or stickers), changing registrant information (name or address), and renewing existing registrations. While New York law does not require insurance for all snowmobiles, it mandates liability coverage if the vehicle is operated on roadways, highway shoulders, or property not owned or leased by the operator. Additionally, the form includes specific provisions for out-of-state residents, allowing them to obtain a temporary 15-day registration if the snowmobile is already registered in their home jurisdiction. All applicants must certify that the snowmobile is fully equipped according to Vehicle and Traffic Law and that the information provided is accurate under penalty of law.
