Summer boating is right around the corner, and so is the deadline for renewing boat and watercraft registration decals. In Washington state, all boat registrations expire on June 30.

Boat registrations can be renewed online and in person at a neighborhood vehicle licensing office. Those who choose to renew in an office should make sure to note the registration number on the bow of the boat or watercraft and take that information with them.

Renewing online is fast, easy and secure. Boat owners who have not yet signed up to receive email renewal notices for their boat can do that on the Department of Licensing website, too.
