How to Register a Boat

Pennsylvania boat registrations and titles are issued by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. Powered boats must be registered, and certain boats must also be titled. Applications may be submitted through the PFBC,

  • Application for Pennsylvania Boat Registration and/or Boat Title (REV-336)
  • Bill of Sale or invoice, including seller/buyer information, sale date, boat description, and HIN.
  • Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin, if the boat is new.
  • Payment for registration/title fees and applicable sales/use tax.
  • Proof of ownership, such as a title, registration, bill of sale, or other accepted ownership document.
  • Registration card, signed by the last registered owner, if the boat was registered but not titled.
  • Title, properly signed, if the boat was previously titled.

Out-of-State Purchase

  • Out-of-state registration, signed by the last registered owner, if the boat came from a registration-only state.
  • Out-of-state title, properly signed, if the boat came from a title state.

A previously registered boat should not be operated in Pennsylvania until the registration is transferred to the new owner. A Commission office or authorized issuing agent may issue a 60-day temporary registration while the permanent registration is processed.
