Register a Boat

Alabama requires boats to be registered before operating on Alabama waters. To register your boat, visit your closest County License Office, or Probate Office with the required paperwork:

  • Application for Boat Registration, Transfer, Replacement and Duplicate
  • Bill of Sale, including the buyer and seller information, vessel description, purchase price, date of sale, and seller’s signature.
  • Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin, if the boat is new.
  • Most recent registration, if the boat was previously registered.
  • Proof of paid sales tax, if applicable.
  • Payment for registration fees and transfer fees, if applicable.

Out-of-State Purchase

  • Original out-of-state title or registration, signed by the previous owner, if the boat was previously titled or registered in another state.

A new boat has a 72-hour grace period for registration. If a used boat is currently registered in Alabama, the buyer must apply to transfer the registration within 15 days.
