I have a related question.
I bought a sled last year and registered it in Wisconsin where I live. I keep it in the UP and plan to ride it only there. I obviously need a trail sticker for MI each year. Here's my question:
What info do I need to provide when I buy my trail sticker? Just my info or WI registration #? + serial #? I'd just like to know how prepared I need to be as I hope to buy the pass on the way and just apply it to the machine and go once I get there.
Thanks.

MI you'll need a DL at most places to get the stickers or The MI DNR ID Card.
BTW WI has bounced my registration when they did not include the tax in section D page 1 of the form they actually called me up to have me forward that info...This was on both a transfer renewal and a new registration.

You can do that. I just find it more convenient for WI to mail me registration renewals every two years that i renew online and save $20 a year per sled...
polarisrider1- I think the question originally started about MI riders who will go to WI for a day or so. I agree w/ your statement- yes, if you are registered somewhere- no need to dual register in MI, b/c registered there or not- you need a trail pass. But WI is the tricky one b/c your registration IS your trail sticker. If you have WI registration, you don't need a trail sticker as well. As noted- it's $33 for 2 yrs, whereas a trail sticker is around $30/yr. So definitely cheaper to dual register is you plan on riding in WI every year.
roundhouse- a drivers license is all you need for your MI sticker. THey don't ask to see your snowmobile paperwork- they don't register your trail sticker to a certain machine.
rangerdave- MN requires actual numbers on their sleds don't they? I think I remember seeing MN sleds w/ license plate type things attached to their sleds. I've never seen an IL/WI snowmobile w/ actual reg #s applied. I have always just placed the state sticker (which does have a # on it) on the machine and been fine. I have been stopped by DNR in both IL and WI and have never been hassled about that. So if you were to dual register in WI, I think you just have to display your WI reg sticker on both sides and you'd be set. No need for a 2nd set of actual numbers to be displayed.

BTW both WI and MI trail permits are $35 bones this year... The WI and IL registration numbers are on yer sticker they just don't make you duplicate and supersize them on the side similar to a boat... LOL you get pretty well versed in this stuff when you set up 4-5 sleds per year in three states... OK someone start a trailer registration post...
