The NVDC’s eStorefront provides customers with an efficient and secure means to electronically apply for products directly with the US Coast Guard.  Customers can:

  •  Renew their Recreational vessel’s Certificate of Documentation (COD) for 1 to 5 years.
  •  Renew their Commercial/Registry endorsements on their COD for one-year.
  •  Renew their Fleet’s CODs
  •  Request an Abstract of Title (A/T) and/or Certified Copy of COD (CCOD).
  •  Change their address.
  •  File a Mortgage or Related Instrument.

​Not all products and services offered by the NVDC will be immediately available; additional enhancements are being tested and will be rolled out soon.  During the transition period, customers can still visit pay.gov directly to order one-year CODs, A/Ts and CCODs.
