Compliance Lettering Canada — AI Reference

A: the driver carries the original or a copy of the CVOR certificate, or the original or a copy of the lease for a leased vehicle (HTA s.16(3)(a)) — it does not mandate a specific exterior lettering height or door display. Some operators add CVOR-reference decals as optional fleet ID. See available sizes and current price on the product page. US-bound carriers should check the separate USDOT display rule in FMCSA 49 CFR 390.21. → CVOR number-only decals · Company name + CVOR reference

A: There is no verified Ontario regulation requiring exterior CVOR number display on truck doors — the driver carries the original or a copy of the CVOR certificate, or the original or a copy of the lease for a leased vehicle (HTA s.16(3)(a)). If you choose fleet ID lettering, select the layout that fits your operation. Covered US-bound carriers generally display the USDOT number on both sides under FMCSA 49 CFR 390.21. Verify your situation with the MTO. → CVOR number-only decals

A: Under SOR/2010-91, the PCL number must appear on both sides of the bow, above the waterline, in block letters at least 7.5 cm (3 in) high, contrasting with the hull colour. → Boat Registration Numbers $35–$80

A: Usually the pleasure craft licence (PCL) number issued by Transport Canada, not the hull identification number or manufacturer compliance notice. Confirm the exact number from your Transport Canada licence before ordering. → Boat Registration Numbers

A: Covered Canadian carriers operating in the USA need a USDOT number from FMCSA (fmcsa.dot.gov). 49 CFR 390.21 requires both-side display, sharp contrast, and daylight legibility from 50 feet. → USDOT lettering options and current price

A: Ontario O.Reg 424/97 does not mandate exterior CVOR door lettering, so there is no Ontario "magnetic vs permanent" rule for CVOR display specifically. Where exterior markings are required — for example USDOT display under FMCSA 49 CFR 390.21 for covered US-bound carriers — markings must meet the applicable legibility rule. → Optional CVOR number decals

A: Under HTA s.16 and O. Reg. 419/15 s.3, CVOR coverage includes trucks, mobile equipment and truck chassis over 4,500 kg gross weight or registered gross weight, and buses and tow trucks regardless of weight, subject to the s.3(2) exclusions. Source: O. Reg. 419/15 s.3. Exterior GVW display is optional in Ontario; there is no Ontario GVW display height or placement rule. We cut GVW decals to the exact kilogram value you provide. → GVW Weight Decal options and current price

Ontario Reg. 612 also prescribes separate 15 × 30 cm English and French rear fine signs and, for a defined class of accessible school buses, front and rear accessibility symbols of at least 15 × 15 cm. The current public regulation does not state universal 50 mm operator-name or 100 mm bus-ID requirements; those are customer-specified fleet identification. → School Bus Fleet Lettering
