First registration of a watercraft using the e-services

Check that the deed of transfer (External link) details separately both the watercraft and its engine, even if they are sold as parts of a single package, for instance in the case of water scooters, as well as the details of the seller and the buyer. 

Check that you have declarations of conformity in accordance with the Directive on recreational craft for both the new boat and the engine. Declarations of conformity are usually available in user instruction manuals.

Make sure you enter the engine serial number in the correct format . Different makes have different serial number formats. Having the correct engine serial number is important to make sure that the system can find the information if the engine has already been registered or if the manufacturer has submitted an advance notification. 

Scan or photograph the documents before you start filling in the notification.

You can have a look at the notification form (External link) in advance to familiarise yourself with the required information. All information marked with an asterisk (*) on this form is also mandatory when you carry out the first registration in the e-services.
