- The buyer must collect the following documents:
- Application for Original Boat/Motor Title – Requires notarization.
- Certificate of Title – Assigned by the previous owner and notarized.
- Boat or Motor Serial Number Confirmation (if applicable) – Acknowledged by a notary.
- Bill of Sale (if applicable) – Required if the boat is from a state that does not title/register boats.
- The new owner brings the documents in person to Service Oklahoma or a Licensed Operator.
