(SALEM, Ore.) - Oregon boaters with registration decals for “08” or “09” on their boat will soon be getting their courtesy registration renewal notice in the mail.

The Marine Board is mailing approximately 102,000 notices on October 30. The notices will include the new $5 surcharge for the Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Permit fund in addition to the boat registration fee which is unchanged.

Registration fees are $3 per foot, rounded up, based on the length of the vessel. “Renewing online is quick and easy. There’s also no processing fee, and these days, that’s a welcomed service,” said Ashley Massey, Public Affairs Specialist for the Marine Board.

Each renewal noticecontains the boat owner’s registration number (OR number) and aspecial PIN.

“The boat owner simply goes to the Marine Board website at www.boatoregon.com, clicks on the registration icon, and enters the information from the renewal notice into designated fields.”

The online system is secure, and personal information is protected when paying with a credit card. The Marine Board does not retain any credit card data.

“Another advantage to renewing online is that boaters can print out a temporary permit right away, and immediately get out on the water. The winter steelhead season is right around the corner,” said Massey. “The transaction is automated, so the Marine Board can process the renewal much faster. Decals are mailed within 5-7 days.”

The electronic process provides a great turnaround-time for boaters.

Boaters can also renew their registrations at the Marine Board Officein Salem, by mail or through 85 agents statewide. For a list of agents,or to renew online, visit www.boatoregon.com.
