Navigating the complexities of boat ownership in Pennsylvania involves various administrative tasks, one of which includes dealing with the title of your vessel. Specifically, for those who need to replace or amend their boat's title, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission provides a crucial form, the PFBC T1. This document serves as an application for a Duplicate or Corrected Certificate of Title by the owner. Whether a boat's title has been lost, stolen, defaced, or if there have been significant changes such as a change of address or a release of a lien against the boat, this form comes into play. It meticulously outlines the steps to be followed, including the submission of a letter from the lienholder confirming the satisfaction of any liens for those whose boats are financed. With different sections to complete based on the boat's lien status and a modest fee structure detailed within ($5 for a duplicate title without corrections, $15 for corrections), the form emphasizes strict adherence to instructions. Additionally, it specifies acceptable payment methods and provides contact information for further assistance, all designed to streamline the process of ensuring your boat’s title accurately reflects your ownership and any changes it may undergo. This form underscores the commission's commitment to maintaining orderly records and offers peace of mind to boat owners navigating the waters of ownership documentation.

Application for Duplicate or Corrected Certificate of Title By Owner
If you financed your boat, a lien may be recorded (filed) against it. If so, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission sent your original title to the lienholder. You are not entitled to possession of the certificate of title until the lien is satisfied. If the lienholder does not have your certificate of title and the lien has been satisfied, you must obtain a letter from the lienholder stating that the lien on your boat has been satisfied.
Instructions
If your boat does not have a lien recorded against it, complete Sections A, B and C. Attach original title if defaced.
If your boat does have a lien recorded against it, complete Sections A, B and C. Obtain and attach letter of lien release from lienholder. Fee is $15 for a corrected title.
The fee for a duplicate title is $5 (without corrections). The fee for a corrected title is $15.
Do not send cash. Make your check or money order payable to the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.
