Buy A License Renew Your Boat Registration Pay Fines/Restitution

Due to technical issues with the new boat registration system, there is a significant delay in the printing and mailing out of boat registrations and decals at this time.  LDWF is working with the vendor daily to resolve this matter and should be resolved in the near future.  Customers can continue to use their boat with copies of their paperwork or receipts from renewing online.  We thank you for your patience during this time.
