The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles is reminding snowmobile riders to renew their registrations before winter arrives.

That can be done on the DMV's website, by mail or in person at a DMV office.

All snowmobiles operated in NYS must be registered and marked with a valid sticker.

"I'm optimistic this will be a fun winter for snowmobilers and other outdoor enthusiasts in New York," said Mark J.F. Schroeder, DMV Commissioner and Chair of the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee. "So, before the snow flies, remember your snowmobile registration must be renewed every year. DMV is here to help customers get registered and ready for the trails."
