Purchase or Register Beacons
Beacon Registration
When you first purchase a 406MHz beacon, it's vital that you register it with the Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand (RCCNZ).
This is a FREE service and applies to all beacons – new or used, separate or installed in a boat, aircraft or vehicle.
How to register
There are two easy ways to register your 406MHz beacon:
1 Fill out the online 406 registration form.
2 Or download the .PDF registration form, complete it and post, email or fax your form to:
Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand
PO Box 30050
Lower Hutt 5040
New Zealand
Fax: +64 4 577 8041
Phone 0800 406 111 or email 406registry@maritimenz.govt.nz to make registration enquiries.
Remember
• If you change any information on your registration (such as your phone number or address), you must update your details with RCCNZ.
• If you sell your beacon or sell a boat, aircraft or vehicle with a beacon in it, tell the new owner to re-register the beacon. Give them this web address or the RCCNZ phone number. Also advise RCCNZ of the transaction yourself, to ensure the details have been updated, or in an emergency, it will be you that will be contacted.
• If you dispose of the beacon or it is lost or stolen, please advise RCCNZ by calling 0800 406 111 (or +64 4 577 8033).
