Welcome to Fido's Standard Registry

	if you have a cat, bird or other pet (other than a dog) that you want to register in Fido's Standard Registry.
	if you already have a pet in Fido's Standard Registry and want to view or edit the information.

Since 2015 all newly registered dogs go into the Certified Registry. Fido customers who had dogs listed in the Standard Registry prior to the 2015 Regulations will still have them listed there, but are legally obliged to contact Fido to have the registration reviewed and a legal Certificate issued.

Dogs in the Standard Registry

If you already have a dog in Fido's Standard Registry (i.e. registered before the Regulations were introduced) then you will be asked to review the information and request an official Certificate of Registration.

Dogs on the Standard Registry will get their Certificates at a discount and the account is then moved to the Certified Registry.

Why are dogs no longer accepted in the Standard Registry?

Regulations enforced since 2016 require dogs to be recorded on a Government-approved Certified Database, with the aid of a registrar (usually a vet) and the owner must obtain an official Certificate.

The regulations require the collection of certain additional information about the dog. Certified information cannot be changed (even by the owner) except with the assistance of a registrar, and certain actions (such as transfer of ownership) cannot take place without the paperwork from the database provider.

Fido's Certified Microchip Registry is a Government-approved Database for the purpose of dog microchip registration.

Because of the legal status of Fido's Certified Registry, it is required to operate under completely different rules, which are unlike the more relaxed operation of the Standard Registry. Fido's Standard Registry is suitable for cats, birds and other pets and allows you to edit more information whenever you want. It also has a simple free ownership transfer process.

So, if you are registering a cat, bird, ferret, rabbit or other such pet, the Standard Registry is for you. If you are registering a dog, you should see a registrar (your vet) to get your dog onto Fido's Certified Registry. And if you have a dog that's still in the Standard Registry, you can upgrade using the "View/Edit" option above.

If in doubt, ask your vet or read the FAQs on our site.

Privacy and data protection

By completing and submitting this form you are giving your consent for the data you have entered to be used in the manner described on this page.

How we use your data

If you already have a dog on Fido's Standard Registry and intend to request a certificate, please know that certain data registered with Fido and subsequently certified by Fido, is retained or processed by Fido to ensure the owner is in compliance with a legal obligation, namely the Microchipping of Dogs Regulations (S.I. No. 63 of 2015). Any subsequent actions with respect to such data are subject to these regulations.

Dogs must be registered by vets or animal welfare professionals, and their data is recorded in the Certified Registry. All other pets can be self-registered by members of the public using the form above, and their data is recorded in the Standard Registry.

The microchip implanted in your pet has a unique number. If the pet is lost, the only way the unique number can be of any use to trace the owner is to have a registry where the number is matched to contact details. Fido provides a registry for this purpose.

Data in the Standard Registry can be revised at any time by the registered owner via the online service. It is your responsibility to remember and protect your access credentials. It is also your responsibility to ensure that the registered information is updated when necessary so that it can fulfil the purpose of assisting in your pet's return if lost. Permanent data (e.g. species and breed) can only be edited by contacting Fido administration.

By submitting your data to Fido you are consenting to allow the data to be used for reunification purposes. Details such as your pet's species, breed and appearance are primarily used as corroborating information when identifying a lost pet. A search by an authorised person will be on the basis of the chip number, with a comparison against available corroborating information, and the contact information then being revealed when a match is identified. The contact details are expected to be used in a manner that most efficiently returns your pet, commencing with your phone number.

Authorised persons include vets and certain veterinary practitioners, pound officials, certain animal welfare organisations, dog wardens and police officers, agents and administrators of Fido.

Except with the owner's consent or as provided under law, pet and contact information registered with Fido is not revealed to third parties, including the general public.

Fido has sponsors and partners, and if there is good reason to suggest that you share some information with these, Fido will say so very clearly. Fido will not share any registered information with sponsors and partners without your clear approval. By default, Fido will assume that you have not given approval for any such sharing of information, even if it is to your benefit.

When a chip is registered, the fact that there exists a registration for the chip is an important fact in its future success. To this end, we share the status of chips implanted in cats and dogs with certain partners such as EuroPetNet. This does not include your name or contact details or the breed or appearance of your pet. The information shared in this manner is only for the purpose of confirming that the chip has been implanted and that it is registered with Fido. The information is available to the public via EuroPetNet and also directly from the Fido site.

When you access the Standard Registry you must supply an email address and a password. As some people unwisely re-use passwords, we will not actually store your password in our system and there is no easy way to discover it, even by Fido personnel. Instead, whatever password you enter is combined with other data in a complex formula to determine if it is valid or not. If you forget your password, the registered email address can be used to send you a temporary code to allow you access, and you can then set a new password. The email address is primarily to provide this recovery mechanism and for contacting you regarding your pet's registration or reunification. Your email address is part of your contact details and will be protected in the same manner. Of course, if you choose a password that is easy to guess, it could be discovered by anyone, so we advise you to choose something harder like two words together with punctuation.

If you leave the jurisdiction, you may change the registered details to provide forwarding contact information. Other jurisdictions may have different legal obligations regarding registrations, and it is common for pets to be re-registered in their new countries, in which case the registration with Fido will not be considered sufficient. As Fido is internationally known and also part of EuroPetNet, it may be an advantage to retain the registration with Fido (for free) but you are still obliged to keep it up to date.

As a general rule, an account untouched for several years that refers to a pet whose age is far beyond life expectancy may be assumed to be an expired account. At our discretion, such accounts may be deactivated and eventually removed.

If there is a change in the status of your pet (i.e. is lost, stolen or has died) then please log in to update the status. You are obliged to do this by law in the case of dogs, but in all other cases we appreciate your cooperation in keeping the registry up-to-date.

Any statistical information derived from the activity of Fido shall be obtained only through anonymous data so that owner and pet identities are never revealed. For example, Fido is in a position to use reports from registered owners to determine the average age at which certain pet breeds are reported missing, which may be useful information for animal welfare groups, but does not reveal anything about individual owners or pets.
