We streamline this essential process by providing a dedicated form that ensures your vessel registration records remain current and compliant with federal requirements.
Our service eliminates the confusion often associated with address updates, guiding you through each step while maintaining the accuracy that regulatory authorities require.
Moving to a new address affects more than just your mail delivery – it impacts your vessel’s legal documentation and your ability to maintain compliance with maritime regulations. We recognize that vessel owners need efficient solutions for administrative updates, which is why our platform simplifies the address change process while ensuring all regulatory requirements are met.

Our specialized application process handles address changes separately from other vessel documentation updates. This focused approach ensures that your new address information is processed accurately and efficiently, without complications from other potential changes to your vessel registration.
We provide clear guidance on completing the address change application, helping you avoid common mistakes that can delay processing. Our team reviews each submission to ensure completeness before forwarding to the appropriate authorities, reducing the likelihood of rejections or requests for additional information.
The application process we’ve developed recognizes that address changes represent urgent administrative needs. Whether you’ve relocated for business reasons, personal circumstances, or seasonal considerations, we help ensure your vessel documentation reflects your current information without unnecessary delays.
Required Information for Address Change Applications
When submitting your address change application through our service, you’ll need to provide specific information that validates your identity and vessel ownership. We guide you through gathering the necessary documentation, ensuring you have everything required before beginning the application process.
Your new address information must be complete and accurate, including postal codes and any relevant apartment or unit numbers. We verify this information during our review process, helping prevent issues that could arise from incomplete or incorrect address data.
Separate Process from Registration Renewals
Address changes cannot be processed as part of standard registration renewals, whether your vessel is registered in the Large or Small Vessel Register. This separation ensures that address updates receive the specific attention they require while preventing complications that might arise from combining different types of updates.
We help vessel owners plan their administrative needs by clearly explaining which processes can be combined and which must be handled separately. This guidance helps you organize your documentation needs efficiently and avoid scheduling conflicts.
The separate processing requirement applies to all vessel types, including those covered under pleasure craft licence requirements. We ensure that our clients understand how different documentation requirements interact and plan their submissions accordingly.
Processing Timeline Considerations
Address change applications typically require different processing timelines than other vessel documentation updates. We provide realistic timeline expectations based on current processing volumes and help you plan for any time-sensitive situations that might be affected by the address change.

We maintain current knowledge of all documentation requirements and help ensure your submission includes everything necessary for efficient processing. This comprehensive approach reduces the likelihood of delays or requests for additional information.

We verify that new address information is properly formatted and complete, including all required elements for successful processing.
This verification process extends to checking that all required signatures and certifications are included and properly executed. We help ensure that your application meets all formal requirements from the initial submission.
