ORDERING PROCEDURE FOR DEALER BOAT NUMBERS AND FORMS
Dealer demonstrator numbers may be affixed to boards or placards, so they can be used to demonstrate different boats.
Registration boat numbers and forms are ordered from the Plate & Document Distribution Unit. Boat dealers may
request these documents by mailing or faxing form PD-1, Dealer Request for Boat Registration Numbers and Forms
(see page F47), to the address below. This form is also available on our web site at , or you can request
the PD-1 by contacting the Plate & Document Distribution Unit by mail, telephone or fax:
NYS Department of Motor Vehicles
Plate & Document Distribution
6 ESP, Room 130
Albany NY 12228
Phone: (518) 474-7656
Fax: (518) 473-3490
The dealer is responsible for accounting for all boat registration number assignment labels and for each Temporary
Certificate of Registration (form MV-53) assigned to his/her facility (see page F2). Registration number assignment
labels are issued in groups of ten (10). Temporary registration certificates are issued in book form, 50 certificates per
book.
If you discover that any registration number labels or temporary certificates are missing, you must immediately notify
the Plate & Document Distribution Unit of the loss or theft, in writing, on your business letterhead. Mail your letter to
the above address.
In the event any temporary registration certificates are stolen from your facility, immediately notify your local law
enforcement agency. Obtain a completed “Report of Lost, Stolen, or Confiscated Motor Vehicle Items” from that agency
and send it, along with a copy of the police report, to the Plate & Document Distribution address above.
The Plate & Document Distribution Unit routinely audits the inventory of available boat registration numbers assigned
to dealers. Letters outlining the discrepancies are sent only to those dealers where discrepancies are found. This is
usually done in the off season to allow plenty of time for resolution before the beginning of the next boating season. No
further requests for boat registration numbers will be honored until all discrepancies are resolved.
