I registered my boat in 2006 with Transport Canada and have never heard
from them since.

Hi Dennis
It seems a bit different in Canada. I received something in mail from
Transport Canada that I was not expecting. Upon opening it was the
new certificate of registration. They issue one every three years. I
did not even request it – it just came automatically.
The even better news is that they also did not require me to pay anything.

*Subject:* Stus-List Vessel documentation renewal - those scammers again
Well, gee. I just got my "courtesy" renewal notice from "Maritime
Documentation Center". I promptly emailed them an "official notice of
shame". :)
For those who are new the list a while and haven't seen our derision
at these folks, let me elaborate. The "Maritime Documentation Center"
is NOT the US Coast Guard's Vessel Documentation Center (VDC). It is
a third party entity who will gladly charge you three times the fee of
the VDC for doing what you can do on the VDC's website in under 5
minutes. It's not illegal, just irritating.
They simply send you an official looking courtesy notice for renewal.
It may show up slightly before the USCG VDC's real renewal notice.
Do not be fooled. The VDC fee for renewal is $26. Pay no more. The
official VDC website is here:
