Information contained in this form is critical to your safety and to successful search and rescue (SAR) response. You may use this form to register a maritime distress beacon (EPIRB), an aviation distress beacon (ELT) or a personal locator beacon (PLB).
The registration information is very useful to conserve SAR resources by helping to eliminate false alerts, as an inadvertent activation can be resolved with a phone call.
For PLB, provide the details for which PLB is used under “Vehicle Usage”.
Fill the appropriate information as applicable for EPIRB/ELT/PLB, and leave blank, whichever are not applicable.
Any change in information regarding currently registered beacons should be updated immediately in the database to maintain the information up-to-date.
If the vessel/EPIRB scrapped/sold, please provide purpose for which the beacon is decommissioned under “Remarks”.
If vessel/aircraft is sold to foreign owner, deregister the beacon at INMCC and advise new owner to change the beacon or re-programme (recode) the existing one with the new country code and reregister with the country concerned. If it is sold within the country, provide details of new owner
If the vehicle is scrapped, destroy the beacon and deregister at INMCC
Periodic confirmation of registration data is requested every two years
In case of false activation, please inform nearest MRCC/RCC with information to INMCC.
If beacon is found to be active inadvertently for more that 4 hours, please replace the beacon battery as soon as possible to ensure its working in an real emergency situation
