Purchase your Invasive Species Sticker HERE.

Vessels registered in the state of Idaho have the cost of the sticker included in their registration and do not need to purchase a separate sticker. Sticker expires on Dec 31 of license year.

Non-Motorized Invasive Species Sticker - $7.00

Not Registered in Idaho Invasive Species Sticker - $30.00

No. Beginning in 2010, the $10 IISF sticker fee was incorporated into Idaho boater's annual registration fee, so your registration sticker will also be your invasive species sticker if you register in Idaho.

Yes.

Any watercraft coming in from out of state that is not registered in the state of Idaho.

Any watercraft including, but not limited to; boats, canoes, kayaks, stand up paddleboards, rafts, etc.

Registered watercraft in the state of Idaho have the invasive species sticker included in the registration. The invasive species sticker must be visible on watercraft.

To be exempt, watercraft need to meet ALL of the following criteria:

• Less than 10ft in length.

• Non-motorized.

• Inflatable. 

Please contact IDPR ...

Yes. The fee is $30 for motorized boaters who have vessels registered outside the state of Idaho and $7 for any non-motorized boaters (in state non-motorized vessel operator must also pay this $7 fee).

No. The law does not provide any exemption for government agencies.

Stickers can be slit with a knife and attached to the vessel with a zip tie, plastic attachment, or other similar mechanism. You may want to put a backing of some type on the sticker to prevent it from tearing before slitting. You may also want to consider having the sticker laminated into a hang tag or attaching the sticker to a sturdy placard before attaching it to the vessel.

Invasive species stickers are valid only within their respective states. Idaho’s invasive species sticker will only permit the launching of watercraft in Idaho. Different states may have different rules that should be researched prior to launching elswhere.

Aquatic invasive species seriously impact waterbodies. Species like the quagga mussel “hitchhike” from one body of water to the next, primarily on boats.

By purchasing stickers, you are funding the prevention of invasive aquatic species within the state of Idaho, most commonly transferred and introduced by boats (motorized and non-motorized). The fees generated from the sale of IISF stickers will fund vessel inspections, washing stations and informational materials that will assist Idaho with preventing the introduction of aquatic invasive species like quagga mussels.

Proper cleaning and drying of boats and all equipment that may have come into contact with the water is the most important step boaters can take to prevent inadvertently spreading invasive species.

Quagga mussels (Dreissena bugensis) and zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) are small, freshwater bi-valve mollusks (relatives to clams and oysters) that are triangular in shape with black (or dark brown) and white (or cream) striped markings that appear on its shell. They are the only freshwater mussel in the United States that attaches to hard surfaces.

This invasive species can quickly spread and clog pipes that deliver water for drinking, energy, agriculture, recreation, and a variety of other uses. These mussels can negatively affect fish populations and wildlife habitat.

The mussels are highly competitive, persistent, and can create monocultures that will eliminate Idaho's diverse biological landscape. If left untreated, a quagga mussel infestation has the potential to cost Idaho hundreds of millions of dollars in actual and indirect costs.
