How to Change the Address on Your Cat's Microchip

When you move, update the keeper contact information with the database that holds your cat's chip record. Start by identifying the provider if you are unsure which one it is.

What to update

  • Home address
  • Mobile or telephone number
  • Email address
  • Any emergency contact details offered by the database

Do not create a second registration

If an existing record already exists, work with the current database provider. Creating another record elsewhere can make future enquiries more confusing.

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.
