What does the DMV issue for off-highway vehicles (OHVs) instead of regular license plates?

The DMV issues identification decals, also known as red or green stickers, specifically for off-highway vehicles (OHVs) instead of regular license plates. This system is designed to differentiate OHVs from standard vehicles that operate on public highways. The color of the decal may indicate the type or year of registration, helping authorities quickly identify whether the vehicle is properly registered for off-highway use.

This approach is tailored to the unique needs of off-highway vehicle operation, where traditional license plates may not be practical or necessary. OHVs are commonly used in recreational settings, and the decals serve as a simple yet effective means of ensuring compliance with registration requirements while also maintaining the aesthetic and operational considerations of these vehicles in off-road environments.
