3.5 Other Country Registration
For ELTs that will have a country of registration other than the US, please contact the
appropriate Civil Aviation Authority in that country for guidelines and documentation needed to
assure proper registration. Always follow the national procedures.
Most countries that maintain beacon registration databases require that ELTs be registered with
COSPAS-SARSAT, the international agency responsible for the 406 MHz Search and Rescue
program. Direct registration may be allowed using the International 406 MHz Beacon
Registration Database (IBRD). Information can be found online at
www.cospas-sarsat.org.
Also refer to COSPAS/SARSAT Documents G.005 and S.007 for information regarding ELT
programming and registration.
