Boat code agents can apply for replacement hull identification number (HIN) plates where original plates affixed to a boat have been lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed.
You'll need:
- your boat code agent ID
- the boat examiner number
- the boat owner's details including their client number or driver's licence number, boat registration number, and HIN
- if the HIN plates have been:
- damaged or destroyed - provide photographic evidence
- stolen - provide a police report number.
No fees apply.
What happens next
The boat code agent will also need to:
Notify an incident with HIN plates and certificates
If you apply using your mySAGOV account, you can check the status of your application.
If the application for replacement HIN plates is approved the boat code agent will receive the new blank plates in the mail within 3 weeks of lodging the order.
The boat code agent must then:
- complete and lodge a new interim certificate with Marine Safety SA
- stamp the plates and affix them to the vessel.
