Form Ops 420 PDF Details

In navigating the complexities of boat ownership and registration in New York, acquiring a Hull Identification Number (HIN) emerges as a critical step, especially for boats manufactured post-November 1, 1972, and for those endeavoring to register a homemade boat. The OPS 420 form, issued by New York State's Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, serves as the gateway to obtaining this key identifier. The form demands thorough completion, including owner and boat specifics, with the option to add engine details. Photographs of the vessel, alongside a signature for consent, are prerequisites before submission, interestingly with no fee or ownership proof initially required. Post-application, a state-conducted inspection at the boat's location is arranged, underpinning the importance of both the HIN's verification process and the integrity check of the boat's major components. Successful inspection results in the authorization to register and potentially title the boat, emphasizing the need for keeping receipts and ownership evidence on hand. With guidance accessible through their website and a dedicated portal for HIN application status checks, New York State facilitates a structured, albeit multifaceted, pathway for boat owners to comply with identification and registration mandates.
