How to Register a Boat
Colorado requires residents to register motorized and sail-powered boats operated on Colorado public waters with Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Attend the Colorado Parks and Wildlife facility closest in proximity to you with the following materials:
- Boat Registration Application.
- Bill of Sale, helpful
- Payment for registration fees.
- Proof of ownership, such as a bill of sale, previous registration certificate, Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin, Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin, certificate of title, court-issued ownership document, collection of personal property by affidavit, or physical inspection form completed by a CPW agent.
Out-of-State Purchase
- Out-of-state title, registration, or other accepted proof of ownership, if the boat was previously registered or titled outside Colorado.
