GO ONLINE TO RENEW WATERCRAFT REGISTRATIONS QUICKLY, EASILY COLUMBUS, OH -- With the click of a mouse, Ohioans can easily renew their watercraft registrations through an online registration system at ohiodnr.com, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). "It's a fast and easy registration renewal process that provides added convenience for Ohio boaters and ensures they are ready for the upcoming boating season," said Rick Barrera, manager of the ODNR Division of Watercraft's registration and titling section. The ODNR Division of Watercraft introduced the online registration system in 2001 to improve customer service. Last year, a total of 4,134 watercraft registration renewals were completed through the online system, which can be accessed 24 hours a day through June 30. Approximately 130,000 renewal notices have been mailed to watercraft owners whose current registrations expire March 1. Registrations are valid for a period of three years. Ohio has about 415,000 registered watercraft and ranks among the top 10 states nationally in the number of watercraft registered. Address changes for boat owners can be made through the online system. Incorrect or out-of-date boat information must be corrected through a watercraft registration agent. A listing of watercraft registration agents is available at ohiodnr.com or by calling the ODNR Division of Watercraft toll-free at 877-4BOATER (877-426-2837).
