01Marine Licence and Vessel Registration Administration
Victoria's recreational marine licence and vessel registration system is administered under state marine safety law by the responsible safety agency. Candidates should understand the two separate records the system keeps: a personal licence held by an operator, and a vessel registration attached to a hull. They are independent. A licensed operator may use an unregistered vessel unlawfully, and a registered vessel may be operated by an unlicensed person unlawfully; both are separate offences.

Marine licence and vessel registration fees in Victoria are set by the state government and collected by the responsible marine safety agency. Candidates should understand the fee schedule concept: different amounts apply to different products, and the schedule sets out licence fees, registration fees, transfer fees, replacement fees, and late or restoration charges. Fees are reviewed periodically, so a question may test the principle rather than a dollar figure. Fee categories : new licence, licence renewal, registration, registration renewal, transfer of registration, replacement of a lost or damaged licence or label, and late payment.
