Coordination Center” (RCC) determine whether an emergency actually has occurred. The
unique identification permits accessing a data base. In the United States the data base
contains the following:
Owner’s Name
Address
Telephone Number
Aircraft Type
Aircraft Registration Number
This data facilitates inquiries as to the whereabouts of the aircraft, the existence of a
flight plan and so forth. The above information should be kept up to date, with any
changes to the data corrected (i.e. change of address, phone numbers, etc.).
Important Notice - Please Read Before Completing Registration
The information you furnish is mandatory and is intended to assist search and rescue
teams in locating you or your craft in the event of beacon activation. The information
will be provided to the United States Coast Guard, United States Air Force, and other
Search and Rescue (SAR) teams as appropriate in the event of beacon activation. It will
also be used to conserve SAR resources by helping to eliminate false alert deployments,
e.g. an inadvertent activation can be resolved with a phone call.
Failure to register, re-register (which occurs every two years) or to notify NOAA of a
change in the status for a 406 MHz beacon could result in penalties and/or fines being
issued to the owner. An owner is required to notify NOAA of any changes to the
registration information. Please note, due to the critical need for up-to-date registration
information, NOAA will update the database accordingly if a beacon owner’s registration
has expired and credible information is provided from SAR sources. NOAA will also seek
information from other databases to update and/or complement the existing information
for a beacon registration. Solicitation of this information is authorized by Parts 80, 87,
and 95 of Title 47 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs).
There is no charge for beacon registration. This is a service provided by the
U.S. Government.
All online registrations will be entered into the National 406 MHz Beacon Registration
Database on the same day of entry. Registration forms received via the postal mail

mail within two weeks. Once your registration confirmation is received, please review all
