Montana Boating Regulations and Laws
The Montana Boater Education Card (also referred to as the
Montana boating license) is proof that a boater has taken and passed an
approved boater education course. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks currently offers a Boater Education Card to prove
that you are a safe boater. This can have benefits such as savings on marine insurance.
Many boating fatalities occur because boaters aren't educated about boating safety. Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks believes that an educated boater is a safer boater.
Where can I take my safe boating exam and get my Boater Education Card?
You can take your safe boating exam directly on the Internet at BoaterExam.com™.
Once you pass the exam your boater education card is mailed to

that can be used until your permanent boater education card arrives.
