What country should I register in? The beacon must be registered in the
country of the owner’s residence. If the beacon is not programmed to that
country’s code and protocol, and the residence is outside of the USA, the
beacon needs to be reprogrammed.
Additionally, the beacon must be reprogrammed if you, as the owner, move out
of the country where the beacon is registered. To verify the country for which a
beacon is programmed, see the label with the UIN (Unique Identification
Number) on the back of the unit.

How do I register?
Registration in the United States - The national authority that accepts
registrations in the United States is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA).
All registration forms will be entered in the 406 MHz beacon registration
database within 48 hours of receipt. The information you provide on the
registration form is used for rescue purposes only.
A confirmation letter, a copy of the actual registration and a proof-of-registration
decal will be mailed to you within two weeks. When you receive these
documents, please check the information carefully, and then affix the decal to
your beacon in the area marked “BEACON DECAL HERE.”
It is very important that the proof of registration decal matches the UIN on the
beacon. If you do not receive confirmation back from NOAA within two weeks,
call toll free (888) 212-7283 for assistance.
