UPDATE Commercial Kayak registration has been suspended. Read More

Recent changes to Transport Canada Small Vessel Regulations require kayaks in which a "guide" is present, to be registered. This applies to both companies operating with a fleet of boats, and for individual paddlers who use their own boat as a "guide".
For more information, please visit the Transport Canada website.

One must produce evidence of ownership/title to the Registrar of Vessels.
- The evidence consists of a copy of the Bill of Sale/receipt or other documentation
demonstrating or transferring ownership of the vessel to the applicant for registration.
If a bill of sale is not available, one must complete a Statutory Declaration of Ownership (PDF)
The declaration must be completed before a person authorized by law to administer oaths in the Province or Territory
of Canada wherein the Declaration is made. One must give the reason why a bill of sale cannot be produced
Form #3: Declaration of Ownership : PDF Here
Complete a Declaration of Ownership, to prove eligability to register vessel.
Form #14: Appointment of Authorized Representative: PDF Here
If the kayak is owned by more than one person (as in some companies), an authorized representitive must be designated.
Form #4A: Simplified Method of Tonnage Measurement :
PDF Here
Measure one's kayak using the Simplified Method. As part of this form, one must provide photo's of the vessel.
- These four photos must show the bow, stern, side profile, and view from deck at stern looking forward.
- Each photograph must be a minimum of 12.70 cm x 8.89 cm (5" x 3.5") in size, signed and marked to clearly identify the vessel, name of the owner and the date taken
- Example photos for use in Simplified Method PDF Here.
Fees
There is a $50 fee for registering a single vessel or a "fleet" of vessels. This means a company can register all its
boats for the flat rate of $50. Once completed, the Certificate of Registry is valid for five years from date of issue.
