PARKS AND RECREATION

We are still issuing Restricted Use Plates, and TITLING these vehicles and vessels. Please contact Parks and Recreation to register or renew at 1-888-922-6743 or go to Parks and Recreation Website.

Drive Insured!
Insure your vehicle or lose your registration.

Vehicle owners without vehicle insurance coverage for two consecutive months will receive a warning and be given 30 days to provide proof of insurance or obtain an exemption before their vehicle registration is suspended. The Drive Insured law (Idaho Code 49-1234) was passed during the 2019 Idaho legislative session, and went into effect in January 2020.
