Which Boats Require Registration?

Requirements for vessel registration vary from state to state. In Wyoming, a boat owner must have the title (certificate of ownership), the boat registration (Certificate of Number), and proper decals to legally operate on state waters. Exceptions to registration requirements are:

Non-motorized sailboats, canoes, kayaks, and rowboats
Vessels registered in another state or country using Wyoming waters for less than 90 consecutive days
Vessels owned by the United States government
Vessels documented with the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG)
