Beginning Jan. 1, a safety course will be required for OHV owners prior to vehicle registrations or renewals.

Owners registering off-highway vehicles will have to take a safety course beginning Jan. 1.
State law will require taking the free course, created by Arizona Game and Fish Department, state transportation officials said.
The course consists of a 10-minute instructional video followed by 20 multiple-choice questions.
It will be required one time for at least one of the OHV owners prior to vehicle registrations or renewals between Jan. 1 of next year and June 1, 2027, according to a release from the Arizona Department of Transportation.
Arizona residents will be able to complete the course through AZMVDNOW.gov, the online portal for motor vehicle services in Arizona as well as MVD office locations across the state.
Non-residents will be able to take the course online at AZGFD.gov.
“MVD’s online portal is a natural fit to host the training for Arizona residents, as the customer will be able to take the course as well as complete the registration renewal process conveniently and securely in one online location,” transportation officials stated in the release.
The OHV decals placed on vehicles will indicate to law enforcement that the owner has successfully completed the course and the vehicle is legally registered.
If a business has OHVs registered to it, a representative from the business will need to take the course on the business’ AZ MVD Now account, according to ADOT.
