1. What is the difference between registration and licensing? ^ Unless you register your vessel, you must get a Small Vessel Licence for any vessel under 15 gross tons and with a motor greater than 7.5 kW (9.9 horsepower). This includes personal water craft. You may also license any small vessel with a less powerful motor. See page xx for more information. 2. I am buying a used boat. How can I tell if there is a mortgage on it, and whether it is registered or licensed? ^ Only registered ships can have mortgages recorded against them. If the vessel has a name and a port written on the stern, then it is a registered vessel. If there is a letter-number combination on the boats' bow, (e.g. 32E0000, or C1234BC) then it is a licensed vessel.

Fees are also payable by VISA or MasterCard. All fees are non-refundable.
