Registration problem

Cat Microchip Not Registered: What to Check

First confirm the scanned number. If no provider is returned, check any breeder, rescue or vet paperwork and ask the organisation that implanted or transferred the cat what database was used.

Do not guess the provider

Registering the same number elsewhere before establishing whether a record exists can create confusion. Verify the situation first.

PetChipHelp is an independent guidance service. We can help identify the database and explain the process, but official microchip records are changed by the database provider that holds the registration.

Have the microchip number?

Check which database appears to hold the record, then go straight to the right provider.
