District Of Columbia Boating Regulations and Laws
The District Of Columbia Boating Safety Certificate (also referred to as the
District Of Columbia boating license) is proof that a boater has taken and passed an
approved boater education course. The District Of Columbia Harbor Patrol currently has a mandatory education requirement that requires all
boaters on District of Columbia waters to carry a Boating Safety Certificate with them while they are on the water.
Many boating fatalities occur because boaters aren't educated about boating safety. The District Of Columbia Harbor Patrol believes that an educated boater is a safer boater.
Where can I take my safe boating exam and get my Boating Safety Certificate?
You can write your safe boating exam directly on the Internet at BoaterExam.com™.
Once you pass the exam your boater education card is mailed to
your home. In the meantime, you can print off a Certificate of Completion
that can be used as a temporary license to satisfy the District Of Columbia boating
regulations until your permanent boating safety certificate arrives.
