bathroom power

I have a downstairs powder room that has it's dedicated 20 amp GFI receptical. I intend to run from there, two new plug ins in my upstairs bathroom.

Do those two new recepticals need any visible indication that they are GFI protected?

You may want to consider running them from the line side of the first GFI so that if the upstairs were to trip you would not need to go downstairs to reset it. This will require a second GFI upstairs.

No need for labeling.

I agree with Jim - wire from the line side, then have the first receptacle in the upstairs bathroom be a GFCI (you would need to purchase and install a new gfci receptacle here since the downstairs one would provide no GFCI protection) and wire the second upstaries bath receptacle on the load side of the first upstairs receptacle

Thank you, I am however a bit unclear on your information. The first and only GFI outlet is in the downstairs bath. Wouldn't the downstream outlets need to be run from the load side to be protected? And if not, where else but at the original GFI would I reset a tripped circuit ?

A second GFI would need to be upstairs also.
