Snowmobiles must be properly registered with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. A five dollar ($5.00) registration fee and a two dollar and twenty-five cent ($2.25) issuing fee is collected for the issuance of a three-year registration. Proof of ownership is required. The applicant's old registration card serves as proof of ownership for a renewal registration. Proof of ownership for a new or transfer registration may be verified with a dealer's bill of sale or a Snowmobile (Form BMV-5706). Any full service deputy registrar is to issue registration certificates, transfer certificates and changes of owner's address certificates. Registration certificates for snowmobiles are accompanied by an alphanumeric decal to be applied directly to the vehicle. The registration is valid for three years. A three-year validation sticker must be attached to these plates. The original registration number for all vehicles is permanent and must remain with the vehicle. All registrations expire on August 31, in the third year after the date of issuance. Application for renewal of a registration may be made no earlier than ninety (90) days prior to expiration. Section 4519.04 requires the owner of a snowmobile to paint or attach on the vehicle in some manner the identifying number (original validation number). The number must be in block characters not less than three (3) inches in height. and of such color as to be distinctly visible and legible. This number must be displayed as follows on both sides of the cowling and is always prefixed by the letter S.
