Review required before production or reliance.
Any certification or reference marks that appear on your label are reproduced from artwork or wording you supply. They are not independently verified by us, and we do not issue, validate, or certify compliance marks of any kind.
Choose size from the full available area
- The canonical product offers 3-inch, 4-inch and 6-inch heights; larger is an option, not a separate legal rule for houseboats.
- Measure the complete number width on both sides before approving a larger height.
- Confirm the background colour and avoid windows, trim, hardware, seams and compound curves.
- Keep unusual layouts or uncertain placement on human-review hold before production.
Authority and buyer boundary
The verified source record is Transport Canada’s Small Vessel Regulations context and Safe Boating Guide (TP 511E). Current guidance describes the PCL number in contrasting block characters at least 7.5 centimetres high on both sides of the bow above the waterline. The customer checks the current document and boat-specific requirement before ordering.
This is a physical marking service. It does not issue a number, approve a boat, replace a licence document, hull identification number or compliance notice, or guarantee an enforcement outcome.

Questions before checkout
Is this a separate boat-number product?
No. This page helps you choose the right configuration, then sends the order to one canonical product so pricing, proof and production details stay together.
Does the decal issue or replace a Pleasure Craft Licence?
No. The buyer supplies the number from the current document. The physical marking does not issue, renew, transfer or replace a licence or establish ownership.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm the exact number, current boat-specific requirement, usable surface, finished height, contrast, placement and full text width before approving the proof.
