- What this product does
- Boat Registration Numbers Canada — a physical printed marking made to the exact options and details entered on this page, produced in Canada and shipped to the buyer.
- What it does not do
- It does not issue, register, licence, or certify anything with any government authority, and buying it does not by itself confirm that a marking satisfies a legal requirement.
- What you verify
- The buyer confirms the exact wording or number supplied and verifies the current requirement with the authority named above before ordering.
See your exact matched port-and-starboard boat-number proof before you pay. Choose your height, material and colour, check the complete pair against your available bow space, then approve the outlined lettering. Made to order in Canada.
Choose one of the available height and finish combinations, enter the exact PCL or registration number and hull colour, then approve a matched port-and-starboard proof before checkout.
What this product is for
This product produces the visible licence or registration marking supplied by the boat owner. It does not issue a Pleasure Craft Licence, establish vessel ownership or replace the licence document carried on board. The number on the proof must match the buyer's current document exactly.
The product is made to order in Canada from the selected physical material. Your selected options and CAD price stay with the approved order so we print the configuration you purchased.
Choose the complete priced offer
Choose 3, 4, 6, 8 or 10-inch lettering in the available solid, reflective or metallic cut-vinyl finishes. Printed outdoor and printed reflective options are available at 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 inches. The selector shows only priced combinations available at your chosen height. Hull colour is captured before checkout so you can check contrast against the selected lettering.
Design help, source questions, uploads and unusual requests are checked and priced before printing proceeds.
Two identical bow markings, sized to your job
Your order contains two identical number sets. The selected height is the minimum physical height of each letter or digit; the proof displays the full outlined width and height. Curved characters can extend beyond the selected letter height. We check the complete outline against the selected material before checkout and do not shrink your paid lettering to force it to fit.
Enter the production details before checkout
The product records the exact number, hull colour, intended surface and production instructions with the selected height and finish. If you include a boat photo or ask for design help, a real person reviews the order before printing, which is appropriate for compound curves, uncertain space, existing graphics or an unusual hull condition.
Required fields must be complete before the cart action is enabled. Your receipt keeps your supplied details, selected options and approved proof together for printing.
Approve the proof or ask for help
The proof shows the entered text, hull colour and selected options. Changing any of those details changes the displayed proof. Standard typed work can be approved on the page; if you submit a photo, request design help or enter anything that does not fit standard sizing, we hold the job so a real person can check it before printing.
The gallery images below support the sale, but they do not replace the first live proof panel. The customer's own input is what drives the proof, and any required check remains visible through checkout.
Keep the authority boundary clear
Current marking context is stated as Small Vessel Regulations (SOR/2010-91) and Transport Canada's licensing specifications. A Pleasure Craft Licence number is a bow marking; it is different from a hull identification number and from a manufacturer's compliance notice. The buyer checks the current document and boat-specific requirement before ordering.
The physical product follows buyer-supplied information. The buyer remains responsible for the current authority record, document, source instruction and use context that sit outside the print order.
Prepare the surface and placement
For a PCL marking, Transport Canada's current licensing guidance places the number on both sides of the bow, above the waterline, in contrasting block characters at least 7.5 centimetres high. Clean and dry the chosen hull area, avoid wax and oxidation, set a level guide and position the complete pair before application.
Actual fit, adhesion and service life depend on the selected material, surface preparation, installation, exposure, washing, abrasion and maintenance. Confirm the full bounding area rather than relying on a single height measurement.

Questions buyers ask
Does this listing create a new boat licence number?
No. Enter the exact number already issued to the boat.
Is reflective available as a real option?
Yes. Reflective white is built into the live finish and price matrix.
Why does the order ask for hull colour?
Hull colour helps the buyer confirm readable contrast before approving the proof.
Are HIN and PCL markings the same?
No. A hull identification number, a PCL bow marking and a compliance notice are different identifiers.
When does production stay on hold?
A boat photo, design-help request or text overflow keeps the order in human review.
