Registration

It is a legal requirement to register your EPIRB with your national authority. Failure
to do so may result in prosecution. Accurate registration will help the authorities if
your EPIRB is activated and may speed up your rescue.
To register your beacon, contact your national registration authority via post, email
or online. Provide your 15 digit HEX ID (UIN), 5 digit checksum if required, your
contact details and emergency contact information. Some countries also require
additional information such as boat type and identification or alternative emergency
contacts.

For USA registrations go to: www.beaconregistration.noaa.gov
For Australia go to: www.amsa.gov.au/beacons
For New Zealand go to: www.beacons.org.nz
Details of other authorities may be found at:

It is important to make sure that registration details are kept up to date and that
the authority is advised of change of ownership or disposal of your EPIRB.
