Below, you can find everything you need to get a Certified Copy of Documentation. To make the process easier, we’ve made it so that all you have to do below is fill in the blanks with a little mark beside them.

What the Certified Copy (COD) Is

This is an application to receive an exact copy of a vessel’s Certificate of Registration as it exists right now. No changes can be made to the form. With this, you are getting exactly what is on file at this current time with the United States Coast Guard. Bear in mind: you do not need to be the vessel’s owner to request a Certified Copy. Additionally, you cannot apply for one of these forms if the vessel’s Certificate of Registry has been expired for thirty days or longer. When filling out this application, always be honest. Potential penalties for false statements could lead to fines, vessel forfeiture, or even imprisonment.

What to Keep in Mind About This Form 

This is not the form to update your Certificate of Registry, to renew it, to reinstate it, or even to file for one initially. This is only the form to give you a certified copy. If you are looking for any of the other forms, you can find those elsewhere on our site. We understand what a responsibility it is for you to entrust us with your personal information. Thus, we have taken every security precaution to make sure that our site is impregnable. That way, you can file an application for this form or any other with the peace of mind that comes from knowing your data is safe.

As our site is optimized for mobile devices, you can complete this application from essentially anywhere and at any time, should you be connected to the internet.
