Information Needed to Register

The registration process includes the registrant’s personal identifiers such as their name, address, date of birth, height, weight, emergency contact information, recent photo, and details about their special needs. Optional information fields include more detailed medical history, and social worker information.

Registry Decals

Each registrant will be provided with decals of various sizes that can be placed on the front entrance of the registrant’s residence as well as on the window of any vehicle in which they regularly travel. The purpose of the decal is to alert first responders that someone in the residence or vehicle has some degree of special need and they should respond accordingly. The use of decals by registrants is strictly voluntary and is not required.
