bigugli Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 It comes under Transport Canada. Applications available at most Service Canada offices. In the past it was free, don't know if it still is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 You'll need a bill of sale for the boat.. or you'll have to go to a Notary and get a declaration signed and sealed. All applications go to NB... http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/marinesafety/debs-obs-paperwork-paperwork_boat_licence-1898.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moxie Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) I purchased an old tinny years back and couldn't find the bill of sale. I went to a Notary(court house or law firm) as described above and signed a declaration, made a donation of $10 and had it sealed. The next step was to take the declaration to a Canada Customs office and apply for a vessel permit and I believe it cost an additional $10 at that time. The last step is to purchase letters and numbers and affix them to the hull. Not that big a deal if you do some leg work on the internet before hand. Good luck.

Fisherman Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hull VIN numbers are usually stamped into the upper right rear outside corner, check there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.mech Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Check out Pat's Boating in Canada....it is a wealth of information on this and many other topics: http://boating.ncf.ca/license.html In all honesty, if it's an old tinny with no VIN number or anything, the simplest thing is to just make up a bill of sale, nobody will really care nor can they prove anything anyway. If you are not comfortable doing this, give the boat to your neighbour for free and buy it back and get him to give you a bill of sale!!
