DEADLINE APPROACHING FOR ADDRESS CHANGES ON BOAT REGISTRATIONS

The last day for boat owners to change their address information prior to the annual registration renewal process is Friday, Nov. 2. That’s also the deadline for reporting if a boat has been sold or for reporting any other registration related activity that may have taken place on the account in 2007.

“If boaters will take the time to report any address or other changes, it will greatly simplify the renewal process for them and for us,” said Kathy Teligades of the Nevada Department of Wildlife. “If our records are not up to date, then a boat owner may not receive the renewal notice in a timely fashion and possibly not at all.”

Boaters can report any registration changes in person, by telephone or online at www.ndowlicensing.com. Boaters who wish to report changes in person can do so at the NDOW office in Las Vegas (4747 Vegas Drive) or Henderson (744 South Racetrack Road). Telephone reports can be made by calling those same offices at (702) 486-5127 and (702) 486-6742 respectively.

The Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) protects, restores and manages fish and wildlife, and promotes fishing, hunting, and boating safety. NDOW’s wildlife and habitat conservation efforts are primarily funded by sportsmen’s license and conservation fees and a federal surcharge on hunting and fishing gear. Support wildlife and habitat conservation in Nevada by purchasing a hunting, fishing, or combination license. For more information, visit www.ndow.org.
