resident Recreation Passport cannot be purchased online. The passport is valid for one year and/or until your license plate registration expires. When purchased at the time of license plate registration renewal, your license plate tab will have the letter "P." When purchased at a different time, you'll receive a sticker that must be permanently affixed to the lower passenger-side windshield. State parks accept debit/credit, cash and check. DNR customer service centers, with the exception of Baraga and Bay City, sell Recreation Passports via cash or check (no credit/debit). Self-registration envelopes and fee pipes are available at many state parks, boating access sites and state forest campgrounds. In addition, there are self-serve kiosks at Belle Isle, Duck Lake, Island Lake, Maybury, Palms Book, Saugatuck Dunes and Tahquamenon Falls state parks/recreation areas, as well as Harley Ensign Boating Access Site and Island Lake Recreation Area gun range. The $5 convenience fee applies.
