Kayak registration number/ tags question

According to the internet  it sounds like all that is needed on a kayak are the registration stickers. So am I right to not have to put the cf# on my kayak?

Not sure where the “boat Ed” is referring to but I was told at CA DMV that all the cf numbers needed to be on the kayak if it is registered with a motor.

If I see you out there without CF numbers, then I’m chucking my 10oz torpedo at you.

Info in image might be from some other state. SUPs, Kayaks, canoes dont need reg unless they have an engine.

Yes the CF number have to be on the vessel. Proper size and location as well.

. . . . or over 8 feet in length with a sail.  California Department of Boating and Waterways regulation.  AI as an example.

That sucks.   

You don’t need any DMV stuff at all for a human powered vessel. I’ve never heard of California requiring boaters’ safety cards/education, but I’ve certainly seen folks who need it!

You have now, applies to any boat with a motor:

In California, each year a new age group is being added to those who are required to possess a valid card. By 2025, all persons who operate on California waters will be required to have one. Once issued, the card remains valid for a boat operator’s lifetime. California Harbors and Navigation Code Section 678.11(b) contains the following phase-in schedule based on operator age:

    January 1, 2018 – Persons 20 years of age or younger
    January 1, 2019 – Persons 25 years of age or younger
    January 1, 2020 – Persons 35 years of age or younger
    January 1, 2021 – Persons 40 years of age or younger
    January 1, 2022 – Persons 45 years of age or younger
    January 1, 2023 – Persons 50 years of age or younger
    January 1, 2024 – Persons 60 years of age or younger
    January 1, 2025 – All persons regardless of age
