The following is the marking information noted on the back of a Canadian Certificate of Registry ( I got it off of the one for our boat, Salazar ):
MARKING REQUIREMENTS Your Certificate of Registry is not valid until the vessel has been marked in accordance with the following marking requirements. NAME AND PORT OF REGISTRY For pleasure craft and air cushion vehicles the name and port of registry both must be marked together on some clearly visible exterior part of the hull. For commercial vessels the vessel name must be marked on each bow and the vessel name and port of registry must also be marked on the stern. If the vessel has a square bow, the name may be marked on some clearly visible exterior part of the bow in order to avoid obliteration. The markings may be made by the use of any means and materials which result in durable markings. All must be at least 10 cm in height, made in clearly legible letters of the latin alphabet or Arabic or Roman numerals. Port of registry marking may consist of the port only, or may include both the port and the province. Only the province may be abbreviated by using the two letter Canada Post symbol. 10 cm. = 4" Ken H.
