You can access and submit various vessel documentation forms through Vessel Registrar LLC, a private agency specializing in U.S. Coast Guard documentation processing. Our platform provides a comprehensive suite of forms tailored to diverse maritime needs. Here’s an overview of some essential forms available:
- Initial Vessel Documentation: For first-time documentation of a vessel, you can complete the Initial Vessel Documentation form online. This form collects vital information about the vessel and its ownership.
- Vessel Renewal: To renew your vessel’s documentation annually, use the Renewal form. Timely renewal is crucial to maintain compliance with U.S. Coast Guard regulations.
- Change of Address: If you’ve changed your mailing address, update your information using the Change of Address form to ensure all correspondence is sent to your current location.
- Abstract of Title: To obtain a detailed history of a vessel’s ownership and any existing liens or encumbrances, request an Abstract of Title. This document is essential when considering the purchase of a used vessel.
- Transfer/Exchange: When transferring ownership or exchanging your vessel, the Transfer/Exchange form facilitates the process, ensuring all legal documentation is properly handled.
- Reinstatement: If your vessel’s documentation has lapsed beyond 30 days, you’ll need to apply for reinstatement using the Reinstatement form to restore its documented status.
- Certified Copy (COD): For an official copy of your Certificate of Documentation, submit the Certified Copy (COD) request form.
- Replacement (COD): If your original Certificate of Documentation is lost or damaged, the Replacement (COD) form allows you to obtain a new copy.
- Deletion (COD): To remove your vessel from the U.S. Coast Guard’s documentation registry, perhaps due to sale or export, use the Deletion (COD) form.
- Change of Vessel Name or Hailing Port: If you wish to change your vessel’s name or its hailing port, submit the Change of Vessel Name or Hailing Port form to ensure the registry reflects the new information.
All these forms are accessible through our website. We offer secure online processing to streamline the documentation process. For further assistance or specific inquiries, you can contact us directly via email at info@usvesselregistrar.us or by phone at 1-800-535-8570.
