Re: US documentation scam

Never hurts to keep this thread at the top of the page.
ONLY use the real Coast Guard Doc office to renew. They charge $26 per year to renew, up to 5 years.

Re: US documentation scam

Just got my renewal reminder letter from one of the scammers, National documentation Portal. The letter clearly states that 5 year renewal is mandatory. As mentioned above, this is wrong as the...

It’s official…new regs were put in place 12/29. Recreational boats can renew for 1 - 5 years. 1 year only for commercial.

Re: US documentation scam

Sorry they got you. Got me about 3-4 years ago.

Re: US documentation scam

Just bringing this subject back to the top as a reminder...the REAL CG Documentation office only charges $26 to renew.

Re: US documentation scam

Thanks for bringing this back up as a reminder.
Although, I think the scam is starting to dry up as the CG no longer lists owners names and addresses. All they have to go on now is names and...

Re: US documentation scam

My boat was first documented last summer when I bought it. I'm guessing you have had your boat for several years and they already had your info before the CG stopped publishing it. Correct?
