Were you over relaxed and now you have to reinstate your certificate of documentation instead of renewing it? No worries, the Commercial Fishing Permits Center (CFPC) has your back. If you need to get a vessel documentation reinstatement, this article is going to cover what to do when your COD expires and how to prevent it from happening again.

What is a Vessel Documentation Reinstatement?

A vessel documentation reinstatement is a formal document that allows you to restore the boat’s Certificate of Documentation (COD) and return the vessel to an active status. This form is only used when the expiration date on the COD has past 30 days from its expiration date. This form allows no changes to be made on the COD other than an address change of the managing owner.

How to Get a Vessel Documentation Reinstatement?

Whether you need a commercial or recreational vessel documentation reinstatement you will need to complete a specific form for it. You will be asked to provide the vessel’s name, Official Number from the US Coast Guard, Hull Identification Number (HIN), International Maritime Organization Number and hailing port specifying the state.

Other than that, you will need to provide some personal information from the managing owner of the boat, like his email address, phone number, mailing address, etcetera.

Lastly, you will need to inform the purpose of the application (which will obviously be reinstatement of the certificate of documentation following failure to renew) and the primary use of the boat, that will be, in our case, commercial.
