Vessel Licensing
Boats belonging to Washington residents are required to have a valid Washington registration on their vessel. Visit us at our Seattle, Washington location to renew your registration, report the sale of your boat, or register your boat if moving here from another state. Incoming residents are required to register their vessel within 60 days of moving to the State of Washington OR within 15 days of purchasing a it.
If you’re looking to renew your vessel registration you can also do that quickly online and we’ll mail you the new registration and decal. Visit Department of Licensing to begin your online renewal.

"This place was so easy and convenient. The ladies working there were extremely kind and friendly! There was very little wait and I was in and out of there with my license plates in 15 minutes (or less)!"
"I wish everything in my life were as efficient as University License Agency. I was in and out in about 20 minutes, even with ~5 people in line in front of me. The clerk who helped me was super fast, and explained things clearly. She also seemed to have a REMARKABLE amount of patience - usually in a busy environment like that, I'm used to employees being brusque but she was friendly while getting business done."
"Been here for several vehicles all on Saturday. I never have to wait in line more than 10 minutes, sometimes it's just 5 minutes. They have the best staff here, extremely nice people. This is different than any DMV or other government organization I've dealt with, they are very very nice & helpful!!!"
