Step 1: Gather Your Documentation Before you can register your boat in Arizona, you will need to gather several important documents. These documents include:

• A completed Watercraft Application form
• Proof of ownership, such as a title, bill of sale or manufacturer’s statement of origin
• A copy of your Arizona driver’s license or government-issued identification card
• Payment for registration fees and any applicable taxes

Step 2: Complete the Watercraft Application is available online on the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s website. You can also obtain a copy of the form in person at any Arizona Game and Fish Department office or at Quick Stop Government Services. The form requires you to provide information such as your boat’s make, model, and hull identification number (HIN), as well as your personal information.

Step 3: Provide Proof of Ownership To register your boat in Arizona, you will need to provide proof of ownership. This can include a bill of sale, manufacturer’s statement of origin, or a previous registration or title from another state.

Step 4: Provide Identification and Payment To complete the registration process, you will need to provide a copy of your Arizona driver’s license or government-issued identification card, as well as payment for registration fees and any applicable taxes. The fees vary based on the length of your boat and the type of propulsion it uses (such as motor or sail). You can find a detailed fee schedule on the Arizona Game and Fish Department’s website.

Step 5: Obtain Your Boat Decal Once you have completed the registration process, you will receive a boat decal. This decal must be affixed to your boat in a visible location. The decal serves as proof that your boat is registered in Arizona and is legally allowed to be operated on the state’s waterways. If you visit Quick Stop Government Services, we can print decals on spot.
