Transfer a boat registration

When you buy a boat that is currently registered in SA, you must transfer the registration within 14 days.

There is a different process if you buy an unregistered boat.

You can transfer a boat registration online if you have a mySAGOV account.  

You'll need:

  • the boat's SA registration number
  • the seller's SA driver's licence or client number
  • the seller's last name
