Vessels that require registration and are 10 feet or longer must also be titled. The application for title must submitted to the MVD within 30 days of sale. A penalty is assessed for late applications. Contact your local MVD office and ask for an employee who can process boat transactions. At some locations, this service may be available only during certain days or hours.<\/p>\n<h3>Boaters Visiting New Mexico<\/h3>\n<p>Boaters visiting New Mexico from another state may recreate on state waters for up to 90 days if the vessel is registered in another state or has current U.S. Coast Guard documentation. Once your boat has been in New Mexico for 90 consecutive days, you must either remove it from New Mexico or register it in this state.<\/p>\n<p>Boaters visiting New Mexico from another state must also receive a watercraft inspection to combat the spread of zebra mussels, quagga mussels, and other Aquatic Invasive Species.\u00a0 The <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wildlife.dgf.nm.gov\/\">New Mexico Department of Game &amp; Fish<\/a><\/span> operates watercraft inspection stations across New Mexico.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Renew Your Vessel Registration Online<\/h3>\n<p>Visit <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eservices.mvd.newmexico.gov\/eTapestry\/_\/\">MyMVD Online Services<\/a><\/span> to renew your vessel registration online at any time.\u00a0 Click on &#8220;Replace\/Renew My Vessel Registration&#8221;.
