Recreation Passport

The Recreation Passport is an easy, affordable way for residents to enjoy and support outdoor recreation opportunities in Michigan.

For a small annual fee Michigan motorists get daily access to state parks, recreation areas, state forest campgrounds, non-motorized state trailhead parking and state boat launches. In addition, Recreation Passport holders can experience real savings at businesses and retailers that participate in the Passport Perks discount program.

Michigan residents can purchase the Recreation Passport by checking “YES” when renewing a license plate through the Secretary of State. You can also purchase the Recreation Passport by mail, kiosk, online at www.expresssos.com or at branch offices. The Recreation Passport is valid until the next license plate renewal date.

Nonresidents can purchase the Recreation Passport at any state park or recreation area or online at Michigan.gov/DNRLicenses.
