The certificate of registration is a pocket-sized plastic card and must be carried on board whenever the boat is in use. This certificate will contain the number which must be displayed on both sides of the bow. Certificates of registration expire on the last day of the owner's month of birth in the third year of registration. This form, with instructions, will be mailed to the boat owner in time to permit application for a renewal to be made prior to the expiration of your current certificate. Or, renewal can be made by phone for a small service fee.
Renewals are valid for three years also.
Late renewals may require that your registration number be changed. To avoid additional cost and inconvenience, renew your registration on time. The decal assigned must be displayed one on each side of the bow preceding the prefix letters of the registration number. There must be a space separating the decal and prefix letters. The decals indicate the year and month of expiration of your registration.
