Boat Registration Numbers & Lettering

Most documented and state-registered vessels must display approved registration numbers or lettering. These markings identify the vessel, show its registration status, and support compliance with U.S. Coast Guard and state requirements.

U.S. Boating & Marine Supplies offers registration-number kits, vinyl letters, and numerals made for straightforward installation, easy readability, and dependable performance in harsh marine conditions.

Size, Style, and Visibility

Registration requirements vary by state, but characters are commonly required to be at least 3 inches high. Choose a color that contrasts strongly with the hull so the numbers remain easy to read.

  • Fade- and peel-resistant vinyl for lasting performance
  • Multiple font styles for clear, consistent identification
  • Reflective options for enhanced visibility

Placement Guidelines

Place registration numbers on both sides of the forward half of the vessel, typically near the bow. Position them above the waterline where rails, hardware, or other equipment will not obstruct them.

Personal watercraft generally follow similar placement rules, although character size and spacing requirements may differ by state. Confirm the applicable regulations before installation.
