Kayaks are simple, classic vessels that are usually propelled by a double-sided paddle. However, today\u2019s kayaks come with a variety of propulsion options<\/a>, from pedals to motors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most paddle\/pedal crafts powered by human effort don\u2019t require the same registration issues and fees as motorized kayaks, but if you choose to buy or update your kayak with a trolling motor (or something similar), then you will need to align with your state\u2019s regulations for motorized vessels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most states have different rules once your kayak is fitted with a motor. However, those rules can change by state and over time as new regulations are implemented. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to register your kayak in most states, you will need a registration form, a manufacturer\u2019s statement of origin (MSO), a bill of sale (with serial number), and applicable fees. Get started with the Brooklyn Kayak Company\u2019s MSO<\/a>. This link is also located on the footer of our home page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some states allow you to fill out the form online or send in a PDF. Other states will require you to mail in the form or bring it to the applicable office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For your convenience we\u2019ve attempted to track down the websites of each state so you can research their requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Alabama<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Alaska<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Arizona<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Arkansas<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n C<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n California<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Colorado<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Connecticut<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n D<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Delaware<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n F<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Florida<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n G<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Georgia<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n H<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hawaii<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n I<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Idaho<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Illinois<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Indiana<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Iowa<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n K<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Kansas<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Kentucky<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n L<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Louisiana<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n M<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Maine<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Maryland<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Massachusetts<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Michigan<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Minnesota<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mississippi<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Missouri<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Montana<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n N<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nebraska<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nevada<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n New Hampshire<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n New Jersey<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n New Mexico<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n New York<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n North Carolina<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n North Dakota<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n O<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ohio<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Oklahoma<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Oregon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n P<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pennsylvania<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n R<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rhode Island<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n S<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n South Carolina<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n South Dakota<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n T<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tennessee<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Texas<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n U<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Utah<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n V<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Vermont<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Virginia<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n W<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Washington<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nRules of Registration & MSO for Motorized Kayaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
