Please make sure you have your primary documents and insurance card ready before starting this process. There will be information from these documents you will need to complete this process. If you are transferring a plate, registration must be current.
The Department shall not renew or update the ownership of a motorboat without verification that the hull identification number (HIN) complies with federal requirements. When renewing a motorboat, or applying for registration for a newly purchased new or used motorboat, the applicant must present verification that the HIN complies with federal law. Such verification may be a legible pencil rubbing or a legible printed photograph of the HIN. To obtain a pencil rubbing, place a piece of white paper, such as computer paper, over the HIN and rub a pencil over the paper until the number appears completely and legibly on the paper.
A bill of sale must contain a description of the boat including the hull identification number, year, make and horsepower, the amount of sale, be dated and signed by the buyer and seller. If a trailer is included it must be itemized on the bill of sale for sales tax purposes or be on a separate bill of sale.
