    Time to receive them seems to be variable .

    I ordered mine online 9/25 and they were in my mailbox on 10/7.

    Have friends waiting from August.

    Go figure.


    Maybe they lost all the August renewals/applications.

    Good Luck

    Thanks for the info, I checked my history on DNR website, it shows that I renewed and registration is current just no stickers.

    Did you receive the registration card?

    Normally the card and stickers arrive together.

    I think they are using an outside vender for the printing.

    Just keep a photo of your payment for reregistering, on your phone

    Good Luck

    I have not received anything. I tried to e-mail the watercraft dept. The address they give is not valid. I have a feeling this is going to be a cluster.

    Took less than 10 days for mine to show up. I was quite impressed

    I registered a new to me boat in July. Needed title and registration since it was obtained from out of state. They cashed the use tax check in early August. Been checking the website occasionally since and has showed pending each time. I called to see what I may have missed a few weeks ago. Was on hold for for over 2 hours so I hung up. Called again today and finally got to speak with someone after being on hold for almost 2 hours. Guy found my paperwork and approved it. Should be getting my registration, title, and stickers in the next few weeks. The guy says they are just behind and the new online process has made it more difficult on their end. I really just wanted to see if I missed something, but he got me squared away.

    I did get an email shortly after that went to my spam folder. Thought I would share. If your waiting, maybe check your spam folder to see if they replied and have questions.

    Thanks for the info, I have called them three times they say wait will be ten minutes, turns into an hour and I hang up. Their web site says my registration is current just never got stickers or reg. card. Very frustrating. I did email them 3 weeks ago and got a confirmation that they received it, have not heard anything since.

    I've been waiting for title and registration numbers since June. They've received it and it's "pending" under my DNR account.

    I spoke with the DNR Nov. 4, the lady was very helpful. Apparently I clicked on something wrong when ordering online, they are being mailed out Monday. My mistake not the DNRs.
