When a boat is registered in Virginia, the owner will receive VIRGINIA CERTIFICATE OF BOAT NUMBER, which is a pocket-sized registration card that needs to be carried on board whenever the boat is in operation.
Apart from the certificate of number, the person will also receive the Boat Validation Decals that include the MT BOAT Number, the HIN/VIN Number, and other contact details of the person.
All these information will also be found on the registration paperwork and help in finding any information about the boat.
