2.What country should I register in?
Register your beacon with the EPIRB national authority of the country for which the beacon was programmed, typically the country where purchased, regardless of where you do your boating.
The beacon must be reprogrammed if you, as the owner, move or the vessel sails under the flag of a different country than the one for which the beacon was previously programmed. To verify the country for which a beacon is programmed, see the label with the UIN (Unique Identification Number) on the back of the unit. Units that do not have a country specified on the UIN label are programmed for the United States.
3.How do I register?
