Idaho State Parks Passport

The Idaho State Parks Passport is a $10 annual sticker for Idahoans that is available for purchase at the time you register your motorhome or passenger vehicle online, by mail-in renewal or at any county DMV office.

The Passport is a good deal for you and great for Idaho, in that proceeds help keep our cherished outdoor public places accessible for years to come!

  • Is just $10 for Idahoans, per vehicle, per year!
  • Offers unlimited day-use access to every Idaho State Park
  • Covers boat launch fees within Idaho State Parks

Remember when Buying that your Passport:

  • Will expire concurrently with your vehicle registration
  • Is assigned to specific vehicles
  • Is not transferable
  • Please note: The Passport gets you into the parks; camping, overnight use, extra vehicle and other fees associated with stays still apply.

Out-of-State Guests:

You have a savings option too, with the purchase of an Idaho State Park Motor Vehicle Entry Fee (MVEF) annual pass.

Our out-of-state guests have savings options too! You can purchase a $80 Motor Vehicle Entry Fee (MVEF) Annual sticker, which waives the daily motor vehicle entrance fee – a savings of $7 per day ($14 a day at premium parks). MVEF Annual stickers can be purchased at any Idaho State Park and online.

What if you have already renewed your vehicle registration?

You can still get a Passport to cover the remaining time on your vehicle registration. You will need to take your license plate number to your DMV and tell the clerk you’d like a State Parks Passport. If you have less than a year left on your registration, the cost will be $10. If you have more than a year left (you purchased a two-year registration), the cost will be $20. Sorry, but the system won’t let us pro-rate the stickers. The next time you register, though, you’ll be caught up and get a full year for $10, or two full years for $20.
