LDWF says they're experiencing planned maintenance of those internet services and due to this maintenance, online boat registration is unavailable.  They will be working diligently to modernize all their online efforts in this regard.

Not Only Will LDWF Licensing Be Unavailable Online, No Service Available Mon-Tues

The advisement from LDWF goes on to say that in addition to the outage of online service, on Monday, November 3, and Tuesday, November 4, the licensing division will be closed to all customers. This will include all in-person and telephone customers as LDWF works to improve the boat registration experience.
