Registration procedures

Register your new watercraft:

In person at whatsoever MN Dept. of Public, DVS (Driver & Vehicle Services) office locations (where y'all license your motorcar) or at the DNR License Center, 500 Lafayette Route, St. Paul, MN 55155-4026.
If your new boat (except kayaks or canoes) is longer than 16', your dealer will apply for title and registration (license) on your behalf, and is responsible for providing you with license materials.

When you register your boat for the showtime time, know its length, manufacturer, type of hull material (wood, metal, or plastic), type of propulsion, model, year, serial or hull identification number (HIN) and have a sales receipt that shows you accept paid the sales tax.

Length is the straight-line distance from the foremost function of the boat (bow) to the rearmost function of the gunkhole (stern). Bowsprits, outboard motor brackets, rudders and other attachments are non included in the measurement.

Gunkhole registrations are good for three calendar years.

Renew your watercraft registration:

In person at any DVS (Driver & Vehicle Services) office locations (where you license your car) or at the DNR License Bureau in St. Paul (500 Lafayette Road, St. Paul, MN 55155-4026).
