Online Store Help

Getting Started

The Boat Oregon Store is not optimized for mobile devices. For the best experience, use your computer desktop.

Every two years (registration cycle), boaters are mailed a NEW PIN to access their online account. If it's your first time doing an online motorboat transaction, use your NEW PIN (sent via US Mail or email) and your boat OR#. This allows you to renew a single boat registration.

 FAQs for the Boat Oregon Store

​Click the link "Forgot Password or Forgot UserID" on the landing page to recover your account. If this is unsuccessful or you get stuck, call 503-378-8587 and ask for online help with your password. You can also email at marine.board@boat.oregon.gov​ and add "forgot my user name and password."​

There are two ways to log in depending on what type of transaction you need to complete. 

Your UserID and password are either something you set up yourself or something the system generated for you on a mailed (or emailed) renewal reminder notice. If you are unsure of what your userID and password is, you can either contact the Marine Board via email at marine.board@boat.oregon.gov​ or you can click the Forgot Password or Forgot UserID links.

​If you're locked out, clear your browsing history/cache. This will reset the connection and allow you to log back in. If you're accessing our store on a tablet or smart phone, ensure the Boat Oregon Store app is CLOSED, not just minimized. The best way to ensure this is to restart your device.​

​Click on “Online Services" in the upper right hand corner of your screen. This will bring down a drop down menu that lists the different transactions you can complete on your account. Make a selection and the application will load.

If you don't see a transaction option you need, please call the Marine Board at 503-378-8587 or email marine.board@boat.oregon.gov and add your question in the subject line.​

​You either have multiple accounts or the boat is listed in a co-owner's name. For further assistance, call the Marine Board at 503-378-8587 or email marine.board@boat.oregon.gov​ and add your question to the subject line. 

If you have a co-owner, the boat may be listed under their account instead. Please check their account before contacting the Marine Board at 503-378-8587 or email marine.board@boat.oregon.gov​ and add your question to the subject line.

​Click on “Online Services” and under "Vessel Transactions," click the link that says, "Boat Registration Renewal." It will list all vessels associated with the account you’re logged into.

​If your account is being accessed for the first time, be sure to set up security questions so that you can get access in case you are locked out for any reason. Then, change your temporary password to a secure password that you can remember.

​It could be that you're on another website (www.Boat-Ed.com). The Marine Board doesn't archive accounts. Please visit our online store to complete a transaction with the Marine Board.

​Your browser may be auto-filling in a field. Please delete this information and try entering the correct UserID or password.

​You can either log in individually using each PIN and check out that way, or you can log in with your account using a UserID and password and take care of it all in one transaction.​

​You can renew your motorboat online and also purchase the waterway access permits through our online store, but you'll need to pay for them as separate transactions. Pay the invoice for the motorboat registration, then scroll to the bottom of the page and select the next transaction type. Then, Add to Cart and Pay Invoice.

NOTE: Waterway Access Permits and Out-of-State Aquatic Invasive Species permits are also sold through ODFW's Electronic Licensing System and the Boat Oregon Online Store. Keep track of which online system you purchase permits. 

The ODFW and Marine Board online sales for permits require different account verifications. ODFW also charges a $2 transaction fee, Marine Board, $1.50 portal provider fee.

If you get a "locked out" message, open a new browser window and/or clear your browser history.

The agency accepts VISA, MasterCard, and Discover credit cards. Once your credit card information is processed, you will be able to print out a receipt which also acts as a temporary permit so you can use your boat right away. 

Registration decals, Certificate of Number (OR#), boater education cards, etc. will be mailed and can take anywhere from 7-days to three months to receive, and sometimes longer during the summer months, depending on volume and transaction complexity. 

Please keep any printouts and your cell phone in a water-tight protective container or Dry Pak to show marine law enforcement when asked. 

If you're renewing multiple boats, click on the Account Tab and add all renewals to your cart before payment to avoid additional charges. You will go to a secure checkout page: https://securecheckout-uat.cdc.nicusa.com/.
