How to Look Up an Owner of a Boat Based on a Boat License
- 1). Familiarize yourself with your state's boating laws. While some states require a boating license, others merely require boat operators to carry a certification card. Websites such as Americasboatingcourse.com will help you find the right boating laws specific to your state. This will help you decide who you should contact for information.
- 2). If you have a boating license number, make sure the number is correct, and if you've found someone's certification card, make note of their name and any other pertinent information on the card.
- 3). Contact your local boating authority and give them the boating license number or certification card information. Depending on the reason for contact, they may be able to put you in contact with the owner of the boat if your reason is legitimate. (For example: boating accidents, you witness the theft of a boat, etc.) In most cases, if there has been an accident or a crime has been committed, the local police should also be called.
