New York Boat Registration/Title Application is used to register and title a boat in the state of New York. It is necessary to have a title and registration in order to legally operate a boat in New York. There are two types of New York Boat Registration/Title Applications: the Standard Application and the Renewal Application. The Standard Application is used to register and/or title a boat for the first time. The Renewal Application is used to renew an existing registration and/or title. Both applications require the owner to provide information about the boat, such as make, model, hull identification number, length, and type. Additionally, the owner must provide personal information, such as name, address, and contact information. Once the application is completed, the owner must submit it to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles along with the appropriate fees.
