Yacht/Boat Information Form

Required Documents for Yacht Registration in Poland

• Proof of ownership – This may include a purchase and sale agreement, invoice, bill of sale, or a notary statement.

• De-registration document – Required only if the vessel has been previously registered elsewhere.

• Copy of ID/passport – Or a company formation document if the vessel is owned by a company.

• Engine documents – Mandatory for engines over 20 HP.

• CE Certificate or Class Certificate – Necessary if the yacht is less than 10 years old, was not manufactured in the European Union, or has never been registered in the EU.

• Measurement document – Required for vessels over 15 meters in length. Examples include a builder’s certificate, tonnage certificate, survey report, or yacht manual.

• Photo of the vessel identification number (HIN/VIN/CIN/INI) – Required only if the hull number complies with the Registration Office’s criteria.

  • If the hull number does not meet these criteria, a Polish identification number will be assigned.

  • The required format is: YY-xxx@@@@@X999, where:

    • Y = a letter

    • x = a letter or digit (excluding 0 and 1)

    • @ = a letter or digit (excluding I, O, and Q)

    • X = a letter (A–L)

    • 9 = a digit

  • If your current hull number does not meet this format and you require confirmation of the actual number, you may optionally request an Extract Document.
