FAQ Answer

ND Century Code 39-29-10 states that Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) drivers must be at least 12 years old and possess an OHV safety certificate to operate an off-highway vehicle. Any person under the age of 16 without a valid driver’s license, learner’s permit, or off-highway vehicle safety certificate may not operate an OHV except on the private lands of that person’s parent or guardian or as a participant in an organized sporting event that involves the use of OHVs. 

A rider under 18 may not operate an OHV without wearing a helmet.

ATVs (All Terrain Vehicles) and UTVs (Utility Task Vehicles) are class types of OHVs.
