Ohio registration for my kayaks

rideharder · 06-13-2013, 11:01 PM

As of now I have my Pa. registrations/ launch permits. What do I need to do to get my Ohio registration? Any idea the best place to go or closest to Sharon Pa. ? Thanks Mark

Long as your registered and have your state launch in pa you are ok for ohio.
Ohio will reconize the tags, like Pa does for us when we paddle in PA.

Mike is correct. I actually looked into this earlier this year. Pa boats can be Registered or you can get a Launch Permit. All states recognize the Pa Registration just like your car. As of earlier this year Ohio has agreed to honor the Pa Launch permit in an agreement worked out. Ohio is the ONLY state that does recognize the Pa Launch Permit. So if you plan on take the boat to any other state you must have it Registered in PA not just a Launch permit.
