Firstly, congratulations on investing in safety equipment. Much like insurance, it's a 'cost' that doesn't always directly provide a return - but the day you need it, you will be happy you have it.

Now that you have the unit, it's to ensure you register it, so if you ever need to use it, the emergency services know what to do!

It’s free and easy

Registration of your distress beacon is FREE and only takes a couple of minutes. Registrations can be submitted online, emailed or downloaded and sent by post.

It’s the law

Registering your beacon is a legal requirement.

Maritime New Zealand and the Rescue Coordination Centre is the place you need to visit - you can register your PLB or EPRIB. Pop over there, get it done, then get out and enjoy the great outdoors of New Zealand!
