Section 67-7008 - CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION -- EXPIRATION -- FEES.
(2) The owner of any vessel for which a current certificate of registration has been issued pursuant to any federal law or a federally approved numbering system of another state shall, if the vessel is operated on the waters of this state in excess of sixty (60) days, make application for a certificate of Idaho registration in the manner prescribed in this section.
(3) Each assessor and authorized vendor shall record, on a form provided by the department, the names of all owners of vessels who make application for certificates of registration, together with the amount of the fees paid by the owners. He shall, on or before the tenth of each month, forward to the department a duplicate copy of each record for the preceding month.
(4) All records of the department made or kept pursuant to this section shall be kept current and shall be public records.
(5) Every certificate of registration issued shall continue in full force and effect through December 31 of the year of issue unless sooner terminated or discontinued in accordance with law. Certificates of registration may be renewed by the owner in the same manner provided for in the initial securing of them.
(6) The owner of any vessel shall notify the department within fifteen (15) days if his vessel is destroyed or abandoned, or is sold or transferred either wholly or in part to another person or persons or if the owner's address no longer conforms to the address appearing on the certificate of registration. In all such cases, the notice shall be accompanied by a surrender of the certificate of registration. When the surrender of the certificate is by reason of the vessel being destroyed, abandoned or sold, the department shall cancel the certificate and enter that fact in its records. If the surrender is by reason of a change of address on the part of the owner, the new address shall be endorsed on the certificate and the certificate returned to the owner.
(7) Whenever the ownership of a vessel changes, the purchaser shall, within fifteen (15) days after acquisition, make application to the department for transfer to him of the certificate of registration issued for the vessel, giving his name, address, and the number of the vessel and shall, at the same time, pay to the department a transfer fee of three dollars ($3.00). Upon receipt of the application and fee, the department shall transfer the certificate of registration issued for the vessel to the new owner or owners. Unless the application is made and the fee paid within fifteen (15) days, the vessel shall be considered to be without a certificate of registration.
(8) No number other than the registration number issued to a vessel or granted by reciprocity pursuant to law shall be painted, attached, or otherwise displayed on either side of the bow of the vessel.
(9) If any certificate of registration becomes lost, mutilated, or becomes illegible, the owner of the vessel for which the same was issued shall obtain a duplicate of the certificate from the department upon application and the payment of a fee of three dollars ($3.00). If one or both validation stickers are lost, stolen, or destroyed, any sticker remnants and the certificate of registration should be returned to the department along with a three dollar ($3.00) fee and an application for a duplicate certificate of registration and validation stickers.
(10) A person engaged in the manufacture or sale of vessels of a type otherwise required to be numbered by law, may obtain pursuant to regulations duly promulgated by the department, certificates of registration for use in the testing or demonstration only of a vessel upon payment of thirteen dollars ($13.00) for each certificate. Certificates of registration so issued may be used by the applicant in the testing or demonstration only of vessels by temporary placement of the numbers assigned by the certificates on the vessel tested or demonstrated, and shall be issued and displayed as otherwise prescribed by this chapter or by regulation of the department.
