Went on line 11/16/19 to renew our annual Documented Vessel Certificate. Paid the $26.00 fee using a credit card.
Received my new certificate today on 11/22/19.
Amazing!
The renewals without any changes zip right through, but if it is a first time documentation or you make changes then things grind to almost a halt.
Well that explains why mine took 6 months, change of ownership.
Has anyone tried the multi-year plan? Has it even been implemented. And this is via the USCG, not through one of the private services.
I renewed for 5 years.

Multi year optional during transition but my understanding is it will be the only option in the future.
My renewal had instructions that when you go to pay, on that form or check you just multiply the annual fee times the years you want up to 5.
