Immobilise is a free, online registration service that allows individuals and businesses to record ownership details of their valued possessions or company assets. The information entered into Immobilise is stored on a secure database and is made accessible to law enforcement agencies via the Mobile Property Register (NMPR). This helps police forces to identify the rightful owners of lost or stolen property, increasing the chances of items being recovered and returned to their lawful owners.

To register your items on Immobilise, you simply need to create an account and enter details such as the make, model, and serial number. Once registered, your items and ownership details are viewable on the police national property database, the NMPR, which is used by law enforcement to trace the owners of lost or stolen property. This can increase the likelihood of your lost or stolen property being recovered and returned to you, thereby reducing incentives for theft and increasing the risks for thieves.

No, there is no charge for using the Immobilise service. It is completely free for individuals and businesses to register their valued possessions or company assets on the database. Immobilise is committed to making its service accessible to everyone. It aims to provide a secure and reliable platform for people to protect their property and increase the chances of recovery in case of loss or theft.

The police support Immobilise because it provides a valuable tool in the fight against crime. Registering your valuable items on Immobilise makes it easier for the police to identify and return stolen property to its rightful owner. It also helps combat the sale of stolen goods and can lead to the arrest and prosecution of thieves.

You can register almost anything on Immobilise, including electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets; bicycles, musical instruments, sports equipment, jewellery, and watches; you only need a serial number, engraving or other unique markings. You can also add a picture and description, further helping to identify the item.

Marking products like a UV pen or asset label can give a unique identifier to an item that otherwise couldn't be registered.
