For-Hire Vessel Registration Form
PLEASE NOTE: If you plan to fish in ANY state or U.S. territory EXCEPT Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, it
is very likely that the state will require you to obtain a saltwater recreational fishing license or registration for your
fishing activity, in which case you will be AUTOMATICALLY registered with the National Saltwater Angler Registry and
should NOT register here.

For-hire registrations are vessel based registrations. Each vessel must be registered separately. If you own or operate
more than one vessel, you will need to complete a separate registration for each vessel.
