NJ Boater Safety Card Replacement.

Replacing your NJ Boater Safety Certificate if it's been lost or damaged.
Only New Jersey State issued boating safety certificates can be replaced by the Marine Services Bureau. Certificates issued by other states, the United States Coast Guard, the United States Power Squadron, or any other agency can not be re-issued by the Marine Services Bureau.

The preferred means of communication with the Marine Services Bureau regarding certificate replacement is via e-mail, this will allow us to serve you in the most efficient means possible. E-mail requests should be sent to lpprobbj@gw.njsp.org , scanned copies of the below information must be in .jpg/.bmp format or in a Microsoft word document. If it is not possible to e-mail your request you can request a replacement certificate by writing to:

NJSP BSC Replacement
BOX 7068
West Trenton, NJ 08628-0068

Requests may also be FAX'd to (609) 882-8110. Please be certain all of the information FAX'd is clearly legible.

Requests must include the following information;
1. Full legal name, in the case of a legal name change you must include your full legal name as it appeared on your original certificate as well as your current legal name, proof of name change(marriage certificate etc.) .
2. Complete address, in the case of a address change you must include your address as it appeared on your original certificate as well as your current address.

You may also have "Boat" added to your NJ drivers license for a $17 fee next time you renew your license.  I did mine last month. You can renew your drivers license anytime, so if your near a DMV  stop in and get it done. It took me ten minutes. t^

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong--But I think the BOAT--is a separate lic. and has nothing to do with your CERT. which has to have NASBLA on it. All that was needed BEFORE was a USCG test to have the BOAT on your DL. Not in Jersey anymore but always had the BOAT on my NJ lic.

I think you only need it on your NJ drivers license for fresh water.
