Effective October 1, 2011, Florida law will change.
Beginning on that date, a course completion certificate for an
approved boating safety education course can be used by a boat
operator as proof of complying with the boating safety
identification cards requirements in F.S. 327.395, provided that
person has the correct certificate and photographic I.D. in their
possession while operating a vessel.
The course completion certificate:
- Is valid for up to 90 days from the date the
course is completed.
- Must have the person's first and last name, their date of
birth, and the date they successfully completed the approved
course.
- Is not a permanent replacement for the Florida
Boating Safety Education ID Card.
