Idaho Boat Registration Lettering

Although seasonal weather restricts boating in Idaho all the time you can still take advantage of scenic rivers and lakes most of the year. We've put together a short guide on what to know when creating Idaho hull registration lettering.

General information about numbers

We'll guide you through the process of creating Idaho boat numbers when you click design now. Each state has specific verbiage as to their requirements. See the Idaho specific section below. The general requirements for boat registrations numbers are as follows:

  • A minimum of 3" letter height
  • A block style font such as (impact or arial black)
  • Generally located on the forward hull portion of the boat next to the DNR tag
  • A contrasting color to base color of your boat.
  • Letters separated by a space or a dash (-)

Idaho Specific Registration Laws

Please review your state specific requirements before purchasing identification decals as they do vary from state to state. Our designer is setup to comply with the general requirements above. If you require a specific requirement not in our designer, just leave a comment at checkout and we'll adust your design (no big deal!). Idaho has a nice boater guide book that everyone should review. The registration information portion is located Here.

Placement Information

Idaho specifies that boat numbers be placed on the forward portion of the boat (the bow) on both sides.

Number Kits are Standard

Our idaho number kits are solid as a pair with 2.

As you can see, I got the name and hailing port decal installed today. Thank you the process was very easy to do and looks so professional. This is a 1993 Starcraft Islander 191V that I have just gotten seaworthy this was one of the final things I wanted to do, place her name on her. The name "Bubbles Up" is from a Jimmy Buffett song of the same name on his last a final album.

First time doing stencils and everything went pretty smoothly. The YouTube video was very helpful. This is our 38’ DownEast sailboat currently in Penasco MX in dry dock. We are preparing the boat for sailing to Panama.
