Owner's Manual

Permits and Registrations
(Professional monitoring only)
Some jurisdictions require home and business
owners to register their security systems or get a
permit in order to dispatch emergency responders.
At Ring, we want to make sure you're in compliance
with these local permit laws.
Each jurisdiction has different rules and application
forms for getting a permit, and sometimes they
require a small annual fee.
We will email you to let you know if you need a
permit, if Ring is required to get the permit for you,
or if you don't need one, along with other important
details.
If you don't get a permit email from Ring within
five business days (and it's not in your Spam folder),
contact Ring Support for more information.
Add your permit information
to the Ring app.
If your Alarm permit includ_es a permit number
and expiration date, add these to your Ring app.
To do this, open the menu, tap Settings, then tap
Monitoring, then Permit. Finally, choose your Permit
type to add the details.
In some locations, emergency responders may not
be dispatched to your location unless your permit
registration number is on file.
Note: Not all permits and alarm registrations
have numbers.
The fine print:
We work hard to make sure you have up-to-date
information about your local permit and registration
laws, but sometimes jurisdictions change their
permit requirements and applications.
You can always reach out to your local municipality
directly to ask about alarm system permit
requirements.
