# §67.59. Extent of title evidence required for change in ownership of a documented vessel.


When the ownership of a documented vessel changes, in whole or in part, the applicant for documentation must present:

- (a) Title evidence in accordance with subpart E of this part to reflect all ownership changes subsequent to the last issuance of a Certificate of Documentation; and
- (b) Where a registry, fishery, or recreational endorsement is sought, evidence of the citizenship of all owners subsequent to the last owner for whom the vessel was documented except for a vessel:
  - (1) Identified in [§ 67.11(b)](/cfr/46/67.11.md?p=b); or
  - (2) **For which the Maritime Administration has granted approval for transfer or sale under 46 CFR part 221.**
- (c) Where a coastwise endorsement is sought, evidence establishing the citizenship of all owners subsequent to the last owner for whom the vessel was documented with a coastwise endorsement, if such evidence is not already on file with the Coast Guard. If the vessel has never been documented with a coastwise endorsement, evidence must be presented to establish the citizenship of each owner of the vessel for whom such evidence is not already on file with the Coast Guard.
