Always ensure it is renewed as required by local regulations.

Each side of the bow of a registered vessel must display the vessel's name and port of registration. The name should be clearly visible and legible, typically painted or affixed in a contrasting color against the hull. The port of registration is usually displayed beneath the vessel's name.
