  • Call the Boating Programs at (360) 902-8555;
  • Fax (360) 586-6603; or
  • Send a letter to the address below.

    • To receive your card, send a completed affidavit along with a check or money order for $5, made payable to Washington State Parks, and mail to:

    Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission
    Boating Programs
    P.O. Box 34333

    Please allow four to six weeks to process an affidavit and receive a replacement card.
