How to Register a Boat
Arizona stipulates that if your boat comes equipped with a gas or electric motor of any kind, it must be appropriately registered if you plan on utilizing it within the state for more than 90 days. Should your visit be limited to time lesser than 90 days, however, the vessel must be registered with your state of residence or under the classification system of the U.S. Coast Gaurd. Any boat operated without the assistance of a motor, or by use of paddle or oar is not obligated to be registered.
To register, gather the following articles for presentation and appear at a nearby Arizona Game and Fish Department office:
- A fully filled-out Arizona Application for Watercraft Certificate of Number (form 1532).
- A completed endorsed bill of sale.
- If the vessel is new, you will need to furnish a Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin (MSO)
- If the boat is purchased from a previous owner, you will need to submit the former registration, endorsed by the prior owner.
- A form of payment for all fees and taxes associated with the registration.
