This is indeed an American term used by the National Vessel Documentation Center. This is the certificate that shows the registration number of the boat. It is also used in Canada but have no real equivalent in France. If it is a leisure boat then it exists in France the \"certificat de bateau\" and if the boat is about to be imported in France then the \"acte de francisation\" applies.In any case I would translate it as \"certificat d\'immatriculation\"
