Nevada Vessel Bill of Sale
When there has been a sale and purchase transaction involving a water vessel, a Nevada boat bill of sale is drawn. This form usually contains essential information about the water vessel and the parties involved in the transaction, and this information is necessary for registration. The parties involved in this transaction are also required to imprint their signature on the document to make it valid.

Vessel Registration

When any person registers a vessel in Nevada, the registration lasts for up to a year. Registrations lapse on the 31st of December of that year, regardless of when it was initially registered. To renew a registration, visit the website of the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW).

Registration Center

Initially, registrations are to be done physically at any NDOW office. To register, you are to first book an appointment on Qmatic.
