Lost microchip paperwork

Lost Your Pet's Microchip Certificate? What to Do

Losing the certificate does not remove the pet from the database. If you still know the chip number, identify the provider and ask about replacement documents or account access.

Where else to look for the number

  • Vet records
  • Vaccination documents
  • Pet passport or travel paperwork
  • Adoption or breeder pack
  • Insurance records that include the chip number
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.
