I don't think that is the official USCG site. < https://maritimedocumentation.us/> is a third party private service. No problem using them, it will just cost a bunch more and take longer.
The official, and MUCH cheaper, USCG site is: https://www.dco.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/Deputy-for-Operations-Policy-and-Capabilities-DCO-D/National-Vessel-Documentation-Center/ Here's the instructions for initial documentation: https://www.dco.uscg.mil/Portals/9/DCO%20Documents/NVDC/INITIAL.pdf?ver=2018-12-28-130935-913 I had an issue with Touche's documentation. The previous owner failed to clear a lien. The folks at the "real" vessel documentation center were fairly helpful in resolving the issue. -- Dennis C.
