Register a Boat in Oklahoma

OKLAHOMA BOATING LAWS AND REGULATIONS

Learning boat operation safety laws and regulations before taking to the waterways of Oklahoma is just as important as learning the rules of the road before you get behind the wheel of your car. By completing an approved boating safety course and following the Oklahoma boating laws, you will have the safest and most relaxing time on the water.

IT’S NOT A FEE, IT’S A CONTRIBUTION

When you apply for your Oklahoma boat registration, you will need to pay registration fees that are based upon a combination of the manufacturer's original retail price of the boat and the current age of the boat. Boat registration fees help fund projects such as waterway clean-up, boat ramp maintenance, lake mapping, and boat safety education.
