Form 9400 588 PDF Details

In the picturesque state of Wisconsin, the lakes and rivers beckon boating enthusiasts and commercial dealers alike, and navigating the waters of boat dealership involves more than just a keen understanding of the market. It requires a thorough comprehension of the paperwork and regulations set forth by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), especially the Form 9400-588. This form is an essential document for anyone in the business of selling or distributing boats, as it serves as the Commercial Boat Dealer Registration Application. Its provisions are clear: a dealer must provide all necessary information for the application to be considered, encompassing a range of details from business names to Federal Employer Identification Numbers, and more. It stipulates the creation of plaques for identification, outlines the fees for various registration types, and emphasizes the importance of carrying a completed copy of the registration when operating the boats. Furthermore, it underlines the non-negotiable requirement for a different registration number for each boat intended for water use at any given time, alongside a fee structure reflecting a three-year registration cycle. The form also opens a window to additional responsibilities and opportunities, such as contributing to lake quality research through the Clean Water Donation. As foundational as it is, understanding and utilizing Form 9400-588 is pivotal for compliance, ensuring that commercial dealers can smoothly sail through administrative waters while focusing on the horizons of their business.

Notice: This form may be used for commercial dealer application filed pursuant to Chapter 30.50, Wis. Stats. The Department will not consider your application unless you provide all necessary information. Personally identifiable information on this form will be used to administer the registration program, for enforcement purposes, and may be used for secondary purposes.

Instructions: A Wisconsin dealer registration must be used for testing, demonstrating, rental, private or personal use. "Dealer" means a person engaged wholly or in part in the business of selling or distributing boats to customers for profit or commission and who has made a substantial financial investment in the business. There must be a different registration number for each boat you are going to have in the water at any given time. Registration numbers are assigned by DNR but are not provided. Dealer must create 2 plaques for each number assigned (1 plaque for each side of the boat). (Refer to the Wisconsin Boating Regulations for display specifications.)

Boat registration fees reflect a three-year registration cycle that expires on March 31. Registration fees are not prorated. Dealer must carry a completed copy of this registration while boat is being operated until certificate is received.
