You don't have to have a certificate to own a boat, and you don't have to have a certificate to register a boat either. The only requirement is that the driver of the boat (who is not always the boat owner) have a certificate. That is why they don't ask.

Who the heck registers a boat and does not drive it?
Read what you posted you make no sense at all with that comment.
In all actuality you should be required to produce your driver’s license when you register which I’ve not been required to produce either.
There are and have been many of us that would like to see a sticker system in place that indicates the owner of the boat did take a boater safety course. This would give the MP a reason to pull more of the vacationing boaters many who have no clue as to what they are or should be doing off the lake.
