Truck & Boat Registration Numbers

We get a lot of questions reguarding the size and specifications of truck and boat registration numbers, so I tracked down the following information.



For Truck Numbers:
Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 107 / Friday, June 2, 2000 / Rules and Regulations
(c) Size, shape, location, and color of
marking. The marking must—
(1) Appear on both sides of the selfpropelled
CMV;
(2) Be in letters that contrast sharply
in color with the background on which
the letters are placed;
(3) Be readily legible, during daylight
hours, from a distance of 50 feet (15.24
meters) while the CMV is stationary;
and
(4) Be kept and maintained in a
manner that retains the legibility
required by paragraph (c)(3) of this
section.



Watercraft Identification & Display of Tags and Number (OAC 1501:47-1-07 & ORC 1547.57)The number assigned is in three parts beginning with "OH" followed by four numbers and two letters.
The number shall:
be placed on each side of the forward half of the watercraft;
read from left to right;
be in block characters of good proportion;
be a minimum of three inches in height;
contrast with the background or boat color;
be separated by a hyphen or equivalent space between the prefix and suffix;
be maintained to be clearly visible and legible.
No other numerals or letters may be displayed on the bow.
