The information on this page relates to all
Canoes, Kayak's & Sit-On-Top Kayaks
 in the State of Oklahoma
(residents only)

    Option 1 Option 2
1. Hopefully you will have your Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin (MSO) for your boat

This is the certificate that says that somebody actually made your boat.  It will have the manufacturer’s name and it will have the Hull ID Number (HIN) which is usually located on the aft (rear) portion of your boat. When purchased from a boat dealer - this paper will have to be signed by a Notary

2.    The next is the Application for the Certificate of Title.  This describes your boat and tells how much you paid for your boat so that the people at the Tag agency can determine how much you owe for your excise tax.

3.    Finally there is a
Boat Inspection form. This is for Serial Number Confirmation of your boat.
This also has to be notarized

The Notarization of
all of the paperwork
should have already been done by the dealer
where you bought your boat

4.    Finally, you take all of this info to a tag Agency where they figure up how much you owe the state

5.    The Tag Agency will then issue you a title and assign you a registration number & decal for you boat

Both have to be affixed to the side of your boat

The rules governing the application of decals are included on the back of the state decal.

Now If you DON'T HAVE a Manufacturer’s Statement
of Origin (MSO) for your boat

Then you must......

1.    Contact a local tag agency and write an affidavit on how and where you acquired your boat and they will then send your affidavit to the
Motor Vehicle Division (MVD)
of the Oklahoma Tax Commission at the State Capitol for approval.

  1. The MVD will review the documents and will issue the applicant written instructions (Form 717) to be provided to the DPS.
  2. On Form 717 there will be a
    1- 800 Phone Number for you to call to schedule an inspection of your boat by the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety.
  3. The DPS will inspect your boat and will complete a form to be submitted, along with the other documents (including a value of your boat), to a motor license agent or MVD for issuance of a title and registration.
     

    You will pay excise tax on the value of
    your boat
    as determined by
    the DPS

     

  4.  A copy of the Certificate of Registration must be carried with the boat when in operation.

It will take at least a week for the tag agency to hear back on your affidavit

The rules governing the application of decals are included on the back of the state decal.

IMPORTANT
If your boat is homemade
or is so old that it does not have a
Hull Identification Number (HIN)
 Then a HIN Number
will be assigned by the
Department of Public Safety (DPS)

Upon inspection of your boat

NOTE - Be Forewarned
That "Most" Tag Agency's (in Oklahoma) are rather inept
when it comes to dealing with a boat owner
who does not have

a
Manufacturer’s Statement (Certificate) of Origin for their boat !!
Practice Patience !!!!
