SECTION 710:22-5-11. Registration renewal notification

(a)   Notification options. Boat and outboard motor registrants may choose from the following three (3) registration expiration notification methods.

(1)   Mail notification. Registrants may choose to receive mailed renewal notices, for an additional fee set by statute, by advising the registering tag agency of their choice and paying the applicable fee. If renewing by mail, the registrant may indicate their choice on the renewal form and remit the applicable fee. Armed Forces personnel eligible for the reduced military registration fee set forth in 63 OS § 4021 may continue to receive mailed boat/motor renewal notices at no charge. If the mail notification fee is not remitted by the registrant, no notice will be mailed. Failure to receive the mailed notification shall not relieve the taxpayer from their responsibility to timely renew their registration(s).

(2)   Email notification. Registrants may choose to receive an email renewal notification, at no charge, by either signing up for email notification via the Commission's online renewal website; or by advising the registering tag agency of their choice and providing to the agent an email address to which the notification is to be sent; or by indicating the email option and providing an email address to which the notification is to be sent on the mail-in renewal registration notice. Email notification will supersede any other type of registration expiration notification. Failure to receive the email notification shall not preclude the taxpayer from their responsibility to timely renew their registration(s).

(3)   No notification. Registrants may choose to receive no notification by advising the registering tag agency of their choice, or by indicating their choice on the mail-in registration renewal notice.

(b)   Motor license agent responsibility. It shall be the duty of motor license agents to advise all in-person registrants of their renewal notification options and process the chosen options per Commission guidelines. When the taxpayer chooses the email reminder notification option, the agent shall obtain the taxpayer's email address to which the notification is to be sent and enter that email address to the Commission's registration system in the manner prescribed by the Commission.
