Important information
Beacon registration is now available on-line in USA and Canada. This
is the preferred method of registration.

http://www.beaconregistration.noaa.gov
Open the page and follow the instructions on-screen.
Note
Use the EPIRB form.
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 the Rescue Coordination Center
launch an immediate rescue, otherwise there will be a delay whilst
further alerts from the same source are received and verified.
Other information for Canada
Registration address:
National Search and Rescue Secretariat
Phone: 613-996-1504
Fax: 613-996-3746
Other Information for USA
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 decal
which must be attached to the beacon.
