The process typically involves:
The new owner must fill out an application form providing information about the vessel, the previous and new owner, and the reason for the transfer of ownership.
The new owner must provide documentation such as the bill of sale or transfer of ownership agreement, and the previous registration certificate.
The new owner must pay any fees associated with the transfer of ownership, such as the transfer fee and any taxes.
Depending on the size and type of the vessel, the French Maritime Affairs agency may require an inspection or survey to ensure that the vessel follows safety and environmental standards.
