Foreign countries employ
vessel registry systems that are similar to those we
have in the United States. However, there are some additional areas of concern that need to be addressed
with respect to Coast Guard documentation or state titling of foreign vessels.
Foremost among these is the matter of title documents
which are written in a foreign language. In this case it
will become necessary to employ the services of a qualified
translator in order to convert such documents into a format acceptable to
our governmental titling agencies. Other issues include removing the
vessel from the respective government's active records, authenticating
foreign notary acts, lien searches, and matters of customs clearance.
