1. How do I provide proof of ownership for my boat?
Before a boat can be registered in Wyoming, proof of ownership must be provided. The following is accepted as proof of ownership:
1. A bill of sale which states the seller of the watercraft, purchaser of the watercraft, and a description of the boat. When a watercraft is sold between private parties, the bill of sale must be notarized by a notary public who is not a party of the transaction.
2. Be sure to check the bill of sale for a complete description of the watercraft, all signatures of the previous owners who appeared on the previous registration, and the name of the seller and purchasing parties.
3. An invoice from the boat dealer. The invoice does not have to be notarized if it is received from a dealer.
4. A watercraft registration or certificate of title from another state. A watercraft which has been registered in another state can be registered in Wyoming with a copy of the registration from the other state, or certificate of title from another state. The registration or certificate of title must be in the same name(s) as the person(s) requesting registration in Wyoming.
5. If none of the above can be provided, a notarized affidavit of ownership may be accepted. The affidavit shall be a written testimony about the history of the watercraft, complete description of the watercraft and how the watercraft was acquired.
2. What information is needed when I submit for my registration application?
1. Proof of Ownership.
2. Proof of Wyoming Sales/Use Tax.
3. Registration fee.
If you have a watercraft the has been registered in Wyoming within the last two years and there has been no change in ownership, the following information may be submitted:
1. A watercraft renewal notice OR a properly completed watercraft application form.
2. Registration Fee.
· When a watercraft is purchased, the new owner must submit a watercraft application to transfer ownership within 30 days after the transfer actually occurs. Unless the application is made and fee paid within 30 days, it shall be deemed unlawful for any person to operate the watercraft until proper registration certificate is issued.
· Problems can arise if you have purchased a boat form an individual who has not had the boat registration transferred into his/her name. If you have purchased such a boat, i.e. the seller is not the same person/person(s) to which the boat was last registered, please contact the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, Watercraft Section, 777-4575 for the proper registration instructions.
· If you have purchased a boat and are unable to obtain a boat certificate, OR you are uncertain of the registration status of the boat, please contact the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, Watercraft Section, 777-4575 or the proper instructions.
· If you have purchased a boat form a dealer or rental company, the dealer's boat number cannot be transferred into the new owners name.
3. When will my registration expire?
Watercraft can be registered for a one-year period or a three year period. All watercraft registrations expire on December 31, for the period registered. The numbers on the decal will be the last two digits of the year of expiration.
Normally you will receive a notice by mail to renew your registration. But, even if you don not receive notification, you are responsible for renewing the registration for your watercraft. The license number assigned to your watercraft remains the same if you renew it continuously. If you allow two or more years to pass without renewing your watercraft registration, PLEASE BE ADVISED that the numbers assigned to your boat will be dropped from the files and may be reassigned to another party. It is to your advantage to keep your registration current.
