Effective 7/1/2012 UTV and ATV registrations in Wisconsin will require owners to display the 2 side decals furnished by the DNR, with the addition of a rear plate which is the responsibility of the owner. The plate needs to be white with a minimum of 4 inches in height, by 7 1/2 inches wide. The lettering needs to be black with a minimum of 1 1/2 inches in height; 3/16 inch stroke. The only thing that needs to be on the plate is the 4 registration numbers and two letters that follow. The owner is responsible for maintaining the plate in a legible condition; plates need to be attached to the rear of the vehicle. Plates can be made or purchased. WATVA has plate suppliers listed on the WATVA website; the link is http://www.watva.org/index.php/wisconsin-atv/atv-utv-license-plates.
