To operate in Oregon waters, all motor-powered boats must be titled and registered with the Oregon State Marine Board (OSMB). A buyer must begin the boat registration process within 30 days of purchase or, if moving from a different state, within 30 days of relocating. Boat registration endures for two years and, once registered, may be renewed online.

Initial titling and registration of boats may be done online, at a registered agent, or through the mail at the address listed on the registration form.
