Missing Boat registration

[wevingr]

I renewed my boat registration online around the beginning of March.  The SOS charged my card right away, but I have not received the registration or new stickers.  Has anyone else had this issue?  Have they stopped processing them?

I believe they are running far behind. My understanding from the past is that they send them out in the order of birthdates. I got mine renewal over a month ago (and then forgot all about it!! - Too much excitement, I guess!?!). A friend of mine whose birthday is a few months later this year just got his renewal even though it already expired a few days ago - March 31, as everyone else's due this year did. I have not heard they have stopped processing them. It's possible but I would have thought I'd see specific information about that?

I did get my car tags around mid-March in less than a week (was getting them in recent years in about 2 days), but I imagine those are at a higher priority than boat registration decals. Carry a receipt. I would hope law enforcement officers will be understanding about this for the next 1 to 3 months. Hard to say for sure.
