Off-Road Vehicle Title

Vermont titles vehicles (including Motorboats, ATVs, and snowmobiles) that are 15 years old or newer based on the calendar year. For example, from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024, Vermont will title vehicles (including Motorboats, ATVs, and snowmobiles) with the model year 2010 or newer.​


As Vermont is now a participating member of NMVTIS, please be advised that for all vehicles not titled in the state of Vermont, a registration number will be submitted to NMVTIS as proof of ownership in place of a 13-character title number.
