The exact spec you approved here travels with your order — nothing gets re-typed or re-entered.
Order a two-decal trailer identification or fleet-ID pair using the exact text you provide. Choose an ID Number Pair, add a unit number, or add a company name. This product reproduces verified text; it does not assign a VIN, replace a manufacturer identifier, or replace the Ontario trailer plate and permit.
Choose the package that matches the job
- ID Number Pair: two matching decals with the exact verified identifier or operational fleet ID.
- ID Number + Unit Number Pair: the identifier plus the unit number supplied in the intake.
- ID Number + Company Name Pair: the identifier plus the exact company name supplied in the intake.
Choose 3-inch, 4-inch or 6-inch lettering and Standard Vinyl, Engineer Grade Reflective or G11 Reflective (ASTM Type XI). The selected height is the target character height; overall width follows the entered text. Reflective choices are visibility options, not a statutory trailer-ID requirement.
Confirm the identifier source
Ontario Highway Traffic Act section 10(2) applies a permanently-affixed identification-number rule to a trailer whose manufacturer's GVWR exceeds 1,360 kg. It does not authorize a seller to invent a VIN and does not state a character height, colour, position or reflective grade.
- Select an existing manufacturer identifier, a Ministry-authorized identifier, or an operational fleet ID only.
- Enter the exact verified identifier text.
- Add unit-number or company-name text only when the selected package includes it.
- Enter the surface colour and review the selected package, height and material before checkout.
Official marks remain separate
A duplicate decal does not replace the manufacturer mark, Ontario trailer plate, permit or Ministry authorization. Do not cover or deface the original identifier. Install away from the plate, lamps, reflectors and other required safety markings.
The cited trailer-identification provisions do not create an exterior trailer ID-number rule for trailers. Optional company and unit text in this offer is operational fleet identification.

Commercial Trucking product authority snapshot
| Specification | Requirement | Primary reference |
|---|---|---|
| Identification-number threshold | A trailer whose manufacturer's gross vehicle weight rating exceeds 1,360 kg must have an identification number permanently affixed before it is drawn on a highway. The cited section does not prescribe character height, colour, location or reflectivity. | Ontario Highway Traffic Act, s. 10(2) |
| Permit and plate remain separate | A trailer drawn on a highway requires a permit and permit-number plate, and the driver must carry the permit or a true copy. A custom decal does not replace the official plate or permit. | Ontario Highway Traffic Act, s. 7(4)-(5) |
| Missing or damaged official identifier | For an applicable trailer with an obliterated or defaced manufacturer identifier, permit issuance depends on accepted ownership proof and Ministry permission for a special identifier. This product does not create that authorization. | Ontario Highway Traffic Act, s. 9(5) |
| Preserve the original mark | A manufacturer's identification number or identifying mark must not be removed or defaced on an applicable trailer. Install any duplicate decal without covering the original identifier. | Ontario Highway Traffic Act, s. 60(2)-(3) |
| Company and CVOR boundary | The cited trailer-identification provisions do not create an exterior CVOR-number rule for trailers. Optional company and unit text in this offer is operational fleet identification, not a government-issued identifier. | Ontario Highway Traffic Act, ss. 10 and 103; O. Reg. 419/15 |
| Current product choices | Choose an ID Number Pair, ID Number + Unit Number Pair or ID Number + Company Name Pair in 3-inch, 4-inch or 6-inch lettering and one listed material. These sizes are commercial choices, not statutory trailer-ID minimums. | Current product offer |
Questions buyers ask
Does every Ontario trailer require an identification number decal?
No. The specific permanently-affixed identification-number rule in section 10(2) applies when the manufacturer's GVWR exceeds 1,360 kg. Permit and plate requirements remain separate.
Does this decal replace the Ontario trailer plate or permit?
No. Ontario issues the trailer permit and rear plate. This product reproduces buyer-supplied identification or fleet text only.
Can this product create a new VIN or replace a missing manufacturer mark?
No. Provide an exact verified identifier. A missing or defaced official identifier may require Ministry authorization before a special identifier is used.
Must an Ontario trailer display a trailer ID?
The cited trailer-identification provisions do not require an exterior trailer ID. Company and unit text offered here is optional fleet identification.
What trailer ID letter size or reflective grade does Ontario require?
Section 10(2) does not prescribe character height, colour, location or reflective grade. The 3-inch, 4-inch and 6-inch choices are commercial display options.
Where should a duplicate trailer ID decal be installed?
Use a clean visible surface without covering the original identifier, permit plate, lamps, required reflectors or other safety markings.
