CT_Bass55 Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 Hey all - curious if anyone knew whether I would be allowed to register a boat in CT with a NY License. I bought a lake house up in northeast CT but live in NY. Would like to throw a trolling motor on my nucanoe but will have to get it registered with CT DOT. Does anyone know if you can register a boat in CT with a NY license? I don't have a CT State ID card yet and the DMV isn't open for that right now. Thanks. Quote
Super User Tennessee Boy Posted June 9, 2020 Super User Posted June 9, 2020 I can't speak for CT but as a general rule states like money. In most states, out of state residence are required to register a vehicle if the vehicle is left in that state longer than a specified length of time. The problem is, if you take the boat back to your home state, they will not be happy if they check your registration and you're a local resident using a boat registered in another state. Quote
JustinCT Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 I was pretty sure I registered a boat in CT when living in PA a few years ago for work. I googled it and yes, you can. The CT DMV website has the requirements needed. Quote
cmhyland Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 You'll need a CT safe boating certificate to reg the boat.... Where in NE CT are you going to be? Regards, Chris Quote
