Is it called a Boating License?
Some people may call it a Boat License or Boaters License. However, it is not a license. It is known as a Boater Education Certificate or a Boater Education Card. The reason it is not called a Nevada boating license is that it does not expire or need to be renewed.
After you have successfully completed the NASBLA / Nevada approved Boater Safety Course and Exam, you will be issued a Nevada Boater Card. This card is good for life.
Remember, your Boater Card must be carried with you while operating marine vessels. Otherwise, it may result in a fine from a local law enforcement officer.
