That is why DNR Conservation Police Officer John Williamson recently took the opportunity to remind boaters, the registration period expires at the end of the month, so get out and make sure everything on your boat is in order.

 

 

Because the state does not send out reminders any longer, DNR officials will be lenient to boaters for a short time. Williamson reminds boaters you can get those registrations renewed wherever you can get a registration application.

 

 

For new boat owners, the online application process does not work. Williamson explains however, the registration for the boat stays with the boat, regardless of it changes hands.

 

 

Williamson notes, there is a very specific sequence to the registration sticker and the displaying of the registration. He emphasizes the instructions for that are on the registration itself letter and how to display it on the boat.
