14 USA 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 decal 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.
