Boat Passport sticker pack

£19.95 including postage

Free pack for each boat once a paid job of £500 or more is completed and stamped by its Verified pro.

Three round stickers with your boat's passport code. The two identical 80 mm stickers also carry your boat's name; the 44 mm one has no name. Shown here at true relative size.

Made to live aboard

7-year matt vinyl, made for outdoor use. Clean and dry the surface, then press firmly from the centre out.

Lost or damaged?

Just order another pack. It carries the same QR, so nothing on the boat needs re-linking.

What a scan shows

The professional who did the work can stamp it. Anyone else sees the public passport, if you've made it public. Your name, contact details, costs and notes are never shown.

Sticker packs are printed with your boat's details. You can cancel for a full refund until your order is sent to print (usually the same day). Once printed, we can't cancel, but we'll replace any pack that arrives damaged or wrong.
