Watercraft's change of ownership by visiting an office of a service provider

Fill in the notification form (External link). All information marked with an asterisk (*) on this form is mandatory in the registration notification. Some of the data may have been filled in before in your watercraft's information. In case of an old boat, however, the data may be very deficient. By filling in the notification form in advance you can speed up the processing of your registration at the service point. Remember to sign the form.

When you visit the office of a service provider that offers watercraft registration services, a e-certificate will not be accepted, and you will need to bring a signed bill of sale or deed of transfer concerning the transfer of ownership.  

Check that the deed of transfer (External link) separately details 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. The deed of transfer should also include the data of the seller and the buyer.

You will always be asked to prove your identity when you visit a registration service point. You can use a passport, an identity card or a Finnish driving licence to do so.
