L.D.W.F. to Begin Accepting Applications for Boat Titles this Week
Posted: 8/25/09

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) will begin accepting applications for boat titles effective Aug. 25, 2009.

The new service provided by the agency is for boat owners wishing to acquire official proof of ownership.  Anyone may title a boat that is not documented by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Beginning Aug. 25, anyone required to register a new or previously owned boat valued at $2,500 or greater, which will be financed through a lending institution, is required to obtain a title.

Titling a vessel is optional for persons who already own their boat and have already registered the vessel in Louisiana prior to Aug. 25, or those who are purchasing a previously-owned boat that is already registered in Louisiana.

The certificate of title costs $26 and can be obtained by mailing in an application form or applying in person at the LDWF office located at 2000 Quail Drive, Baton Rouge 70808.

The application form is available through the LDWF Web site: www.wlf.louisiana.gov/boating/registration.  For more information, call 225-765-2898.
