Minnesota Boat Bill of Sale
Where there has been a transfer of title of a boat/vessel due to its sale and purchase, a Minnesota boat bill of sale is drawn to prove the legality of the transaction. The document consists of vital information about the person buying and the person selling the boat.

Boat/Vessel Registration

When a vessel is registered, its registration lasts for up to three (3) years. When this registration lapses, it is renewed physically at the DVS Office or online through the DNR (Department of Natural Resources) online platform.

Registration Center

To register for the first time, you are to physically submit your applications and other required documents at any DVS Office location. The form will include vital information about the boat like: how long the boat is, its manufacturer, the material used in creating its frame, its make, the year it was made, etc.

Documents Needed for Registration 

  • An application for the registration and titling of the water vessel;
