Idaho Boat Number Display Laws

Idaho boat registration numbers must be displayed correctly on your vessel so they are easy to read and properly spaced. Use the guide below, then design your boat number decals below.

Idaho Display Requirements

Idaho requires your registration numbers to be shown on both sides of the forward half (bow) of the boat. The numbers must be clearly visible, read from left to right, and use plain block characters at least 3 inches high in a color that contrasts with the hull.

ID 1234 AB

Idaho boat numbers are typically displayed as ID 1234 AB or ID-1234-AB. Separate the prefix, numbers, and suffix with a space or hyphen equal to the width of a letter (other than “I”) or a number (other than “1”).
