Missouri Boat Registration
Boat buyers have 60 days from the purchase date to title their newly acquired boat unless exempt.[1]
Notarization of the Boat Bill of Sale is required if the vessel was rebuilt (notary public services are available at a DOR licensing office).
To register and title the vessel, the buyer will need to file the following documents with a licensing office:
- Proof of ownership (Boat Bill of Sale, Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin (MSO), or Certificate of Title)
- A completed and signed Application for Missouri Boat/Vessel or Outboard Motor Title and Registration (Form 93)
- Receipt for personal property tax payment
- Notarized Lien Release (if there’s a lien on the vessel)
After filing the above documents, the owner will need to pay the titling, registration, and processing fees for the boat.
