### Vessels Requiring Registration
Any vessel longer than 12 feet must be titled.
In New Jersey, all titled vessels need to be registered. Furthermore, any mechanically propelled vessel,
regardless of its size, is required to be registered.
### Exempt Vessels from Registration
Non-powered vessels that are 12 feet or less in length, including:
- Inflatable, non-motorized vessels
- Surfboards, racing shells, or tenders solely used for transporting passengers between a vessel and
shore
- Non-motorized kayaks or canoes
- Non-powered sailboats or vessels operating exclusively in small lakes or ponds entirely within private
properties
- Vessels from other states that are registered or documented and temporarily operate in New Jersey
waters
### Where to Obtain and Store a Registration Card
Vessel registration application forms are available at marinas, boat dealerships, Motor Vehicle
Commission field offices, or can be requested by mail at:
State of New Jersey
Motor Vehicle Commission
P.O. Box 160
Trenton, NJ 08666

, The registration must be kept onboard and available for inspection while operating the vessel.
### How to Display the Registration Number
The registration number must be:
- Painted, applied as a decal, or affixed to both sides of the bow
- Readable from left to right on both sides of the bow
- Displayed in at least three-inch-high BLOCK letters
- In a color that contrasts with the background
- Separated by a hyphen or equivalent space (e.g., NJ 3717 ZW or NJ-3717-ZW)
- No other numbers should appear on the bow
- Validation decals must be placed on both sides of the vessel, three inches behind the registration
number
This requirement applies to Personal Watercraft (PWCs) as well.
### Hull Identification Number (HIN)
The Hull Identification Number (HIN) is a 12-digit, unique number assigned by the manufacturer
to vessels built after 1972. It serves the same purpose as a vehicle’s serial number.
- The HIN is engraved on the fiberglass or a metal plate attached to the transom.
- In New Jersey, the HIN must appear on the registration application.
### Operator Age and Education
**PWC**:
- Must be 16 or older and have completed an approved boating safety course (certificate required).
**Motorized Vessels (excluding PWCs)**:
- Operators aged 13–16 must complete a safety course if operating electric-powered vessels or those
longer than 12 feet with less than 10 horsepower (certificate required).
