CA DMV Form Boat 111. Vessel Verification

The CA DMV Form Boat 111, also known as Vessel Verification, is used to verify the vessel identification number (HIN) and other details of a vessel in California. This form is typically required when registering or transferring ownership of a vessel.

The form consists of sections that need to be completed accurately:

• Vessel information: This section requires details about the vessel, including the make, model, year, length, HIN, and engine information.
• Verification statement: This section must be completed by an authorized verifier who physically inspects the vessel and verifies the accuracy of the information provided.
• Signature and date: The form must be signed and dated by both the vessel owner and the authorized verifier.

The parties involved in this form are the vessel owner, the authorized verifier, and the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

When filling out this form, it is crucial to ensure that all vessel information is accurate and matches the physical characteristics of the vessel. Any discrepancies may lead to registration issues or delays in the ownership transfer process.

An application example for this form would be when a person purchases a used boat from another individual in California. The buyer would need to complete the CA DMV Form Boat 111 to verify the vessel's details before registering it under their name.

An alternative form related to vessel verification is the CA DMV Form REG 31, which is used for vehicle/vessel transfer and reassignment. While both forms involve the transfer of ownership, the CA DMV Form Boat 111 specifically focuses on verifying the vessel's identification number and details.
