How to Register a Vessel

Once a boat has been purchased or upon relocation to Florida with your boat, you have a total of 30 days to register the vessel. Make an appointment for an appearance or visit without one at your nearest local Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles facility with the following:

  • The official Bill of Sale (Form HSMV 82050) notarized by an authorized agent or a Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin (MCO) if the Vessel is purchased new.
  • A signed-over title with a completed Odometer Disclosure Statement (page 2 of the supplied bill of sale) if the vehicle is 10 years old or newer.
  • A valid form of photo identification.
  • First-time state registrations of a given watercraft will require a VIN inspection available from any police precinct.
  • Documentation of active boat insurance within the State of Florida.
  • Monies for registration and tiling fees and taxes.

Once the registration is complete, you will gather registration plates and stickers to make them visible on your watercraft. The registration must be renewed by the owner’s birthday in the following calendar year. If the registration is owned by a company, it is due in June. During the renewal period, you have the choice to renew for a one- or two-year period.
