If you're not located in New York, check your local or state authorities for regulations pertaining to your area.
Part One: Registration
- Boat Registration: Boat registration is a legal requirement in New York State. Ensure a safe start to your season by initiating the registration through the NYS DMV. The registration certificate is your proof of current registration; you must carry the registration certificate on board at all times. Correct display of the registration number is important, consisting of the letters NY followed by four numbers and two letters. Two validation stickers, displaying the month and year of registration expiration, should be affixed to the hull. Federal regulations also require a Hull Identification Number (HIN) on all vessels, providing essential information for safety notifications and stolen vessel recovery. The Department of Motor Vehicles issues titles to vessels 1987 model year and newer, serving as clear proof of ownership.
