69BOAT REGISTRATION PROGRAM
Eligibility
l
Retail boat dealers registered by the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) are eligible to participate in the
Boat Registration Program, unless their registration to operate as a dealer is expired, suspended or revoked. To
become a boat dealer, an Original Facility Application (form VS-1) must be completed and mailed to:
Bureau of Consumer and Facility Services
Application Unit
PO Box 2700
Albany NY 12220-0700
Forms are available on the DMV website, There is a $10.00 application fee and a $50.00
two-year registration fee.
Any questions concerning the status of a dealer's business registration should be directed to DMV’s Bureau of
Consumer and Facility Services at (518) 474-0919 (expirations) or (518) 474-1510 (suspensions/revocations).
Participation
l
Boat dealers registered by the DMV are automatically enrolled in the Boat Registration Program. This program
allows a dealer to issue a Temporary Certificate of Registration (form MV-53) and, when appropriate, a
permanent boat registration number (see page F2).
Restrictions
l
The dealer may issue temporary 45-day registrations and registration numbers only to the purchasers of boats
„
the dealer has sold.
The temporary registration may be extended by the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles for an additional 30-day
„
period. Under no circumstances can the boat dealer issue more than one temporary registration to a specific boat.
If the dealer issues a Temporary Certificate of Registration (form MV-53) the boat registration transaction can
„
be processed by any Motor Vehicles office, or mailed to the Central Dealers Processing Unit.
The dealer may not issue a new registration number for a boat that was previously registered in New York
„
State. Instead, the dealer must use the registration number originally assigned to that boat.
The dealer may not, for any reason, exchange registration numbers in his/her possession with those of another
„
dealer, or borrow registration numbers which have been issued to another dealer.
Temporary registrations and registration numbers assigned to a dealer must not be issued for boats sold by a
„
brokerage or for boats purchased elsewhere.
The dealer must give the new registrant a copy of the Boat Registration/Title Application, form MV-82B (see
„
pages F25 and F26), copies of all proof(s) of ownership, and a copy of the original Bill of Sale (see page F9).
