Boat registration under the Polish flag

To boat and yacht owners flying Polish flag.

Starting from August 2020, Poland started issuance of a new format of registration cards. Plastic card, similar to typical bank card, is much more easy to maintain, keep clean and unbroken. It also has several protective layers to minimize the probability of being counterfeit. New card averse side hold basic data of your vessel. You can find the size, type of registrations (commercial/recreational), water type on which boat will be sailed (seagoing/ inland). It shows also unique registration number in new format and standardised hull identification number. Reverse side shows basic data of owners and operator.
