We've put together a short information page about getting boat registration numbers for Louisiana. Don't skip putting numbers on your boat, it is basically the same as running around without a license plate and will incur fines.

General information about numbers

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

  • A minimum of 3" letter height

  • 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 (-)

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!). Louisiana has a nice boater registration guide book that everyone should review. The registration information portion is located Here.

Decals were cut perfectly and were easy to apply. Only thing is I was in a rush to install. I probably could have separated the letters from the numbers and got a closer match to the curve of the stripe. But I'm very happy with the quality and prices. Also the website is so easy to use. Thanks we will be back for more. NF.

The letters came out great! I'm pleased with the letters and the application process. They also arrived very quickly. They were easy to apply. My personal application of them... not bad but could have been better. Illinois wants 3" letters, and I didn't have that much room. I also aligned the tops of the letters to a bevel. If I had it to do over, I'd align the bottoms to the lower bevel. I think that would make them look straighter. Lastly, I forgot to leave space for my Illinois sticker on the right side which pushed it too far forward. Maybe the next person can learn from this.
