PHOENIX – Owners registering off-highway vehicles (OHVs) will use AZMVDNOW.gov to take a safety course required by a state law taking effect in January.

The free course, created by the Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD), will include content related to the safe operations of these vehicles. It consists of a 10-minute instructional video followed by 20 multiple-choice questions. At least one of the OHV owners will be required to take this course once before vehicle registrations or renewals between Jan. 1, 2025, and June 1, 2027. 

The Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division and AZGFD are partnering to offer this safety course online. Arizona residents can complete the course through AZMVDNOW.gov, the online portal for motor vehicle services in Arizona, and 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 for hosting training for Arizona residents. The customer can take the course and complete the registration renewal process conveniently and securely in one location. 

The 2025 and beyond OHV decals placed on the vehicle will indicate to law enforcement that the owner has completed the course and is legally registered.

If a business has OHVs registered to it, a representative from the company will need to take the course on the business’ AZ MVD Now account.
