The Michigan Department of State offers several alternatives to renewing your watercraft registration at a Secretary of State branch office. These methods are fast, reliable, convenient, and will save you time!

No more waiting in lines at the branch offices, driving in poor weather conditions, or taking time off work. If you are simply renewing your watercraft registration, use one of these convenient options: renewal by touch-tone telephone, Internet, or mail.

Watercraft registration renewals are available via the Internet and touch-tone service between March 1st and August 31st.

Renewing your registration by Internet is quick and easy. You can access the online renewal form 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

You can use this service if:

• The address is correct on each renewal notice. (If not correct, you can only renew by mail or at a branch office).
• The owner name and watercraft information is correct on each renewal notice. (If not, you will need to renew at a Secretary of State branch office).
• Your renewal notice has a PIN. (If no PIN was assigned, you can only renew by mail or at a branch office).
• You have a valid Visa, MasterCard, or Discover credit card.

To renew your watercraft registration by Internet, complete and submit the Watercraft Online Renewal Form. To ensure timely processing, please complete all required fields on the form. If you provide a return e-mail address, you will receive an e-mail confirming that your transaction has been processed.

Your new registration and decal will arrive in the mail within 7 business days.
