Out of state boat registration May 28, 2018 22:24:43 GMT -5 via mobile

Was at an Indiana lake today and noticed someone from Ohio with his boat (with Ohio registration stickers on it) boating in the lake. No Indiana stickers.

Are boat stickers from other states valid for use on Indiana public waters?

Do other neighboring states (Michigan, Ohio, etc) honor Indiana boat stickers on their public waters?

An out of state boat registration that is valid may be used upon Indiana waters as long as it is not for more than 22 consecutive days.

Other states honor Indiana boat registrations but the specific number of days may very. An individual needs to check with the state they are going to be visiting to know what the requirements are as well as to be informed of other boating laws that may be different in that state.
