Virginia Boat Registration Lettering

If you are a new Virginia boat owner looking for registration number information we have tried to compile it for you in one place. Read below for more information.

General information about numbers

We'll guide you through the process of creating Virginia boat numbers when you click design now. Each state has specific verbiage as to their requirements. See the Virginia 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 (-)

Virginia 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!). Unfortunately Virginia does not have an easy to read guide about boat registration numbers so we must point you towards the state law page which you can find Here.

Placement Information

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

Number Kits are Standard

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