Sticker requirement
Beginning 2008, the purchase of a new sticker for owners of Maine-registered watercraft is automatically combined with the watercraft registration fee. The sticker, which now reads “Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers -- Preserve Maine Waters” and is physically attached to the Maine watercraft registration, has been required since 2002 for all motorized watercraft on inland waters.
Owners of non-Maine registered boats will continue to be required to purchase and affix a separate nonresident sticker. Neither type of owner sees new or additional costs—just an automatically combined cost for owners of Maine-registered watercraft.
No sticker is required for operating a boat in tidal waters. The Warden Service determines the boundary between inland and tidal waters on tidal rivers. "Motorized watercraft" includes any boat with any type of motor, including canoes with electric motors and personal watercraft.
How much? Where to get it? Where to put it?
The Maine Resident sticker is physically attached to the Maine watercraft registration and its $10 cost is combined automatically with the in-state watercraft registration fee. The Nonresident sticker continues to cost $20.
The cost depends on the residency of the boat, not the boater! Out-of-state residents who register their boat in Maine pay the "Resident" sticker fee upon registration.
Stickers for Maine-registered boats must be purchased at municipal offices when buying watercraft registration. Stickers for non Maine- registered boats are available for sale wherever boats are registered or fishing licenses are sold. Place the sticker next to your registration sticker.
Non Maine-registered stickers may also be purchased on-line through the IF&W on-line store. (off-site)
