The Department of Land and Natural Resources’ Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation, in cooperation with ehawaii.gov, has launched the online service for owners of boats and other vessels registered in the state of Hawai‘i.
At the completion of the online renewal process, a temporary registration card and a receipt can be printed for record keeping while the vessel owner waits for the actual registration card or ramp use decal to arrive within two to three business days.
Transfers of vessel ownership and first-time vessel registration will still need to be done over the counter at DOBOR offices because proofs of ownership, bills of sale and other key documents will have to be inspected and duplicated by DOBOR staff for filing.
All motorized vessels, unless documented with the U.S. Coast Guard must be registered with the state of Hawai‘i to operate in state waters.
The service will also be featured on the DOBOR Web site at www.hawaii.gov/dlnr/dbor/
The service is one of many online services for citizens and business offered through the state’s official Web site, eHawaii.gov (www.ehawaii.gov).
