You should re-register your boat if it has been deregistered for some reason and you wish to put it into service again. You can complete the re-registration in our e-services if you are one of the watercraft’s owners and aged 15 or over. You need to be identified to use this service
Check that the deed of transfer (External link) separately details both the watercraft and its engine, even if they are sold as parts of a single package, for instance in the case of water scooters, as well as the details of the seller and the buyer.
You should attach a bill of sale or a deed of transfer from the previous owner entered in the register if the watercraft or its engine has changed owners since it was deregistered.
You can have a look at the registration form (External link) in advance to familiarise yourself with the required information. All information marked with an asterisk (*) on this form is also mandatory when you submit the notification using the e-services. Some of the data may have been filled in before in your watercraft's information. In case of an old boat, however, the data may be very deficient.
Check that you have the boat’s WIN code . Without the WIN code, no online re-registration is possible and you should choose another way of using the services.
Identification is required to use the service. You must be aged 15 or over.
Select the Re-registration of a deregistered watercraft service.
Complete the information of the owners/holders of the craft. As an identified user you are automatically the owner of the watercraft, and this information cannot be changed. Enter the WIN code and complete any other mandatory data on the watercraft and its engine that may be missing.
Pay the registration fee and remember to click on the Return to the seller's service button to receive a confirmation and print your receipt.
If you indicated that you intend to deliver some of the attachments by mail, print out a covering letter on the confirmation page. When you attach the covering letter to the mailed documents, they can be linked to the right form and the registration can be processed faster. Please note that if you have indicated your intention to send some of the attachments by mail, the processing of your registration will not start before all the required attachments have been received.
The processing time of a notification is around one to two weeks. A new registration certificate will be mailed to your home address once your watercraft has been registered.
You can go to My e-Services to check if the watercraft is shown as registered under your name. If it is, you may use the craft even if you have not received the registration certificate yet. However, remember to check that the registration number is attached to the craft following instructions. If necessary, the authorities can check the system to see that the watercraft has been registered and that the certificate is being issued. It is, however, a good idea to always keep the bill of sale in the watercraft when using it.
