Annex 1. Registration information
PLBs must be registered with a relevant national authority. Some administrations
allow for on line registration or require a completed registration application form to be
submitted by letter or FAX.
General information related to PLB registration requirements around the World is
published by the Cospas-Sarsat organisation. Some administrations now allow direct
registration using the Cospas-Sarsat website online IBIRD registration database.
Further information can be found on line here:
A registration form is normally packed with the PLB, if you are not registering the PLB
online the form should be completed and sent to the relevant national administration
at the address detailed on the form.

Owners in Australia please note the following requirement from the Australian Standards
Authority. "Advice to owners of Personal Locator Beacons
Registration of 406MHz satellite PLBs with the PLB Registration Section of the National Authority
is mandatory because of the global alerting nature of the system.
The information provided in the registration card is used only for rescue purposes.
Fill in the owner registration card immediately upon completion of the sales transaction. Mail the
registration card immediately.
If the beacon is to enter service immediately, complete the registration card and fax the
information to the national authority. The original card must still be mailed to the relevant national
authority for hard-copy reference and filing.
If the current owner is transferring the beacon to a new owner, the current owner is required to
inform the national authority by letter, fax or telephone the name and address of the new owner.
The subsequent owner of the beacon is required to provide the national authority with the
information as shown in the owner registration card.
This obligation transfers to all subsequent owners"
