This online system allows you to purchase an Invasive Mussel Infestation Prevention Fee Sticker (also known as a Quagga Sticker). Unless used exclusively in marine (salt) waters or specifically exempted by law, owners of motorized recreational vessels used in freshwater are mandated by law to display a current sticker.
The fee for the sticker varies by year and expires at the same time as the vessel registration renewal sticker. Failure to properly display the sticker on your vessel may result in a citation.
Note Federal Regulations require the Invasive Mussel Infestation Prevention Fee sticker be purchased separate from your vessel registration.
For instructions on how to properly affix the Mussel Fee sticker to the hull of the vessel, please see our Frequently Asked Questions.
Before You Begin:
-
Have your state issued vessel number, if available. For California, this is the CF Number.
-
Be prepared to pay the $16 fee.
- All credit/debit card transactions include an additional 1.95% payment processing fee.
- If paying directly from your bank account, there are no additional fees.
