Changing the Flag of Registration

Purchasing a Boat Registered Outside Europe

Have you chosen a boat flying a non-European flag, even though you are a citizen of the European Union? In this case, it is essential to deregister the boat from its current flag in order to apply for registration in your country of residence.

Before beginning the registration process, you should ensure that the deregistration has been completed and verify that the boat has a certificate compliant with European standards (EEC).
