ODNR EXTENDS E-RENEWAL WATERCRAFT REGISTRATION SERVICE
Ohioans have until September 30 to register their boats online
 COLUMBUS, OH - Ohio boaters now have until September 30 to renew their watercraft registrations electronically via the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) web site at ohiodnr.com .
“We have registered this year more than 9,000 Ohio watercraft through the e-renewal system, extending this registration option improves our scope of customer services,” said Rick Barrera, registration and titling manager for the ODNR Division of Watercraft.
That number represents nearly twice as many e-renewals than were made last year when a total of 5,890 watercraft registration renewals were processed through the ODNR web site. This year, kayaks and canoes may be renewed electronically for the first time.
While address changes for watercraft owners can be made through the online system, incorrect or outdated registration information must be corrected in person through a watercraft registration agent. A list of state watercraft registration agents is also available at ohiodnr.com.
All new and renewed watercraft registrations must include a valid 12-character hull identification number. Boat owners also may call the ODNR Division of Watercraft toll-free at 877-4BOATER (877-426-2837) for additional information.
