UNITED STATES EPIRB REGISTRY SYSTEM

Important information
Beacon registration is now available on-line.
This is the preferred method of registration; point your browser to
http://www.beaconregistration.noaa.gov
and follow the instructions on-screen.
Use the EPIRB form.
Other information
At present NOAA still accepts registration by mail or fax. The registration forms are pre-
printed with the correct mailing address and fax number. A registration form may be
downloaded from the website given above.
However you register the beacon, you will be sent a sticker which must be attached to the
beacon.
Emergency Contact
It is VITAL that the Emergency Contact information is accurate, particularly regarding the
telephone number, as this will be used to validate an alert. Only if the beacon registration and
approximate location details can be confirmed will USCG (United States Coast Guard) launch
an immediate rescue, otherwise there will be a delay whilst further alerts from the same
source are received and verified.
