Changing ownership or contact information

As the owner of the beacon, it is your responsibility to

advise the national authority of any change in your

registration information. If you are transferring the beacon

to a new owner, you are required to inform the national

authority. You can do this by using their online database or

by letter, fax or telephone and informing the authority of

the name and address of the new owner.

The new owner of the beacon is required to provide the

national authority with all of the information requested on

the registration form. This obligation transfers to all

subsequent owners.
