I don't know about the law as such but there are boats out there with it on the top of the aft starboard side, as well as the stern, *just as Cary said.

My memory is too leaky, but I believe it became law in '71 or '72, for all boats sold in the US to have the Hull ID # embossed near the starboard aft corner of the hull. Don't quote me on this, as I was once mistaken, and it's bound to happen again.*
