Which Boats Require Registration?

Requirements for boat registration vary from state to state. In Oregon, you must have a Certificate of Title, Oregon Certificate of Number, and validation decals to operate your boat legally on public waters. Exceptions include:

  • Non-motorized boats
  • Sailboats less than 12 feet in length
  • Boats registered in other states using Oregon waters for 60 days or less
  • Vessels documented by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) whose principal use is in another state
