All-terrain vehicle and utility terrain vehicle riding is a growing sport in Wisconsin. Along with the privilege of enjoying the sport comes the responsibility of making sure you are operating these vehicles safely and responsibly. ATV and UTV operators born on or after Jan. 1, 1988 who are at least 12 years old for ATV(and at least 16 years old for UTV) must complete an ATV and UTV safety certification course in order to operate on public ATV/UTV trails and areas in Wisconsin. DNR recreational safety specialists recommend all ATV and UTV operators complete a safety course.

* Students need to be at least 11 1/2 years old to attend but are not legal to drive until they are 12 years of age.

** Students will need a Wisconsin DNR Customer ID number.

All Wisconsin recreational safety students are required to obtain a Wisconsin DNR Customer ID Number before the completion of any recreational safety class and will also be required to provide that customer ID number along with the student’s personal information to the instructor.

You can obtain a DNR Customer ID Number:

• online at www.dnr.wi.gov

• calling DNR customer service from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. at 1-888-936-7463
