I am already the keeper on a microchip but need to make a change to my contact details.
We have 2 types of pet owner accounts: Connected and Lost & Found.
If you have a subscription account, you can update your contact details anytime by logging into your account here.
If you have a basic pet owner account it means that either when you changed the microchip registration from the breeder to yourself using a transfer code it was free of charge, or if you did not use a registration/transfer code then you opted for the basic membership when registering before March 2025.
If you need to change any of your contact details, you will require a subscription account. You can simply login to your account and click ‘upgrade.’

Legislation introduced in April 2016, states that it is compulsory for all owners to ensure their dog is microchipped by 8 weeks of age and their contact details are stored and kept up to date in a DEFRA-compliant, pet microchipping database. They could face a fine of up to £500 if they do not.
New legislation in 2023 states that cats must be implanted with a microchip before they reach the age of 20 weeks and their contact details must be stored and kept up to date in a DEFRA compliant, pet microchipping database. All owners must have their cat microchipped by 10 June 2024 and owners found not to have microchipped their cat will have 21 days to have one implanted or they could face a fine of up to £500.
