New Jersey Boat Registration

New Jersey boat owners have to register and title their vessels within 10 days of purchase or face a late penalty.[1]

To get the titling and registration squared away, owners must do the following[2]:

  1. Fill out and sign the Universal Title Application and Boat Registration Application Form.
  2. Gather proof of ownership (Manufacturer’s Certificate of Ownership, Certificate of Title, or previous owner’s registration and bill of sale).
  3. Visit an MVC location, deliver the above documents, and pay the registration and title fees.
Exceptions – Vessels that are less than 12 feet in length do not require titling, and registration isn’t required for unmotorized vessels under 12 feet.[3]
