If you're a boater in Oklahoma, you need to make sure your
boat is properly registered with the Service Oklahoma. Registering your boat is
not only a legal requirement but also ensures that you can enjoy all the
benefits of boating in Oklahoma without any hassles.
Here's a step-by-step guide to help you register your boat
in Oklahoma:
Before you start the registration process, make sure you
have all the necessary information. This includes:
Submit the completed application form BM-26 and BM-10 forms
in person at the nearest Service Oklahoma or Licensed Operator location. You can
find the nearest location here.
In addition to submitting the necessary forms, you will also have to pay a
registration fee. The registration fee varies based on the age and value of
your boat. The maximum registration fee you will pay is $151.
Once your application has been processed, you will receive
your boat registration certificate and decals. Display the decals on your boat
as instructed and keep the registration certificate on board whenever you are
operating the boat.
In Oklahoma, boat registrations are valid for either one or
three years, whichever you choose. All registrations expire on June 30 of the
final year. To renew your boat registration, you'll need to complete the same forms
as last time, except now you can renew online, by mail, or at any Service
Oklahoma or Licensed Operator Location.
In conclusion, registering your boat in Oklahoma is a simple
process, but it's important to follow the steps correctly to ensure compliance
with state regulations. With your boat properly registered, you can enjoy all
the waterways Oklahoma has to offer with peace of mind.
