United Pet Club never charges to register a microchip or to update your contact information afterward. Whether your pet has a United Pet Club chip or one from another provider, our free lifetime plan adds it to the pet registry at no cost, with nothing to renew, ever.
Free registration means your pet's microchip number, your contact information, and your pet's basic details go into a record in our pet registry that a vet, shelter, or animal control officer can search 24 hours a day. There is no fee to create that record, no fee to keep it active, and no fee to change your phone number or address later, which is the part many other registries charge for.
The free lifetime plan covers the essentials: registration, unlimited updates, and searchability. If you want more, such as extra notification options, you can add upgraded registry features on top of it. Nothing about the free lifetime plan expires or requires renewal, and if you are new to registration, the step-by-step guide walks through the whole process. The plan is also available worldwide: wherever you live, and wherever you move later, the same free registration applies and the record stays searchable.
Your registration does not expire and never needs to be renewed or repurchased.
Change your address, phone number, or email as many times as you need, for as long as you own the pet.
Vets, shelters, and animal control can search the registry any time, day or night, including through the AAHA universal microchip lookup.
You do not need a United Pet Club microchip to register with us. Enter the number from an existing chip and it links to your record the same way.
A microchip that is never registered is just an inert chip. Shelters and vets can scan it, but if there is no record attached to that number, they cannot reach you. Charging for registration or for updates discourages pet owners from keeping records current, which is exactly when a lost pet is least likely to make it home.
Because our registration and updates stay free, there is no reason to let your information go stale. If you move, change your phone number, or rehome a pet, update the microchip record the same day, it only takes a few minutes.
Yes, completely. There is no charge to register a new microchip, no charge to update your information, and no renewal fee. Some registries charge for updates or after a set number of years, ours does not.
No. Once a chip is registered, it stays active for the life of your pet unless you choose to remove it. There is no subscription required to keep the free tier working.
Yes. Enter the microchip number printed on your pet's paperwork or given to you by your vet, and it registers in our system the same way a United Pet Club chip does.
The free lifetime plan covers the core record: your contact details, your pet's information, and searchability around the clock, free for the life of your pet. Upgraded plans add extras like additional notification options, but you never need to upgrade to keep the basic registration active.
It takes a few minutes and it never costs anything, now or later. Create your free account and enter the chip number, or read the step-by-step registration guide first.
