Incorrect microchip details

Pet Microchip Details Are Wrong: How to Correct Them

First separate a simple contact-detail error from a keeper dispute. If you are the registered keeper and a phone number or address is wrong, use the provider's normal update process. If the wrong keeper is listed, use the transfer process.

Common errors

  • Old address
  • Old phone number
  • Misspelled keeper name
  • Previous keeper still recorded
  • Pet details entered incorrectly
