Content Overview

The Mississippi Motor Boat form is an essential document for boat owners in the state, facilitating the registration process for various types of vessels. This application requires completion of all shaded areas and includes specific instructions for submission. Applicants must indicate whether they are submitting a new application, transferring ownership, renewing registration, or requesting a duplicate. Fees vary based on the length of the boat, with amounts clearly outlined for vessels under 16 feet, between 16 and 26 feet, and those over 26 feet. To ensure compliance, proof of Mississippi sales tax is required for boats purchased from dealers, along with a notarized bill of sale if acquired from an individual. Additionally, all boats must have a hull identification or serial number, and if absent, an inspection is necessary. The form also collects pertinent information about the applicant, including personal details and vessel specifications, ensuring that all ownership claims are verified and documented accurately. Proper completion of this form is vital for lawful operation and registration of motor boats in Mississippi, providing peace of mind to boaters as they navigate the waters.
