Boat registration can now be transferred online
4 November 2024
To make things simpler, easier and more convenient, you can now transfer boat registration online with a mySAGOV account.
The new time-saving online option will be similar to transferring a vehicle registration.
When you buy a boat, simply:
- log in to your mySAGOV account
- select “Transfer boat to my name”
- input the boat registration number, seller's SA driver's licence or client number and the seller’s last name.
An option will appear at the end of this process to add a boat trailer transfer if needed. This means you can skip the queue and complete both transactions online.
If you don’t already have a mySAGOV account, find instructions for how to create a new account.
Note, the online option is not available if the boat:
- is not currently registered
- is from interstate
- requires Hull Identification Number (HIN) validation.
In these cases, visit a Service SA centre for assistance with the required documentation.
