...the French Islands seem to want
more than state registration and fine you if you don't have it.

Here in the Pacific French Polynesia and New Caledonia take state
registration. Indeed, state registration is good just about
everywhere over here. On the other hand, I find federal documentation
move convenient because it is free and because the VDC will send you a
new one good for a full year anytime you request one. State
registrations typically require you to receive a bill and send it back
with payment and then receive you new rego and sticker. So, if you
plan to go a while between mail drops the documentation is easier to
deal with.

Thanks Tom and others.
Hopefully Geoff, who has sailed Belize, will sound in on this one.
