An animal registration system is a number provided to a pet that is registered. The MAFRA uses the registration system using an internal chip and external id tag to identify pets.

We are trying to solve the existing problems of the animal registry with biometrics registration.

How does pet biometric ID work?

How long after my pet is born do I register?

After 6 months from birth is when accurate prints appear. Just like humans pet’ prints grow along with them and change as they get older. If you register before 6 months it is recommended to register frequently for accurate measures.

You said the more registrations the higher the recognition rate, why?

Since the registration system is learned by AI, the accuracy improves as more data is collected. 

My pet keeps moving during the scan process. What should I do?

After going on a long walk, take a picture outside and it will go well. Or take it when your pet is sleepy. Even if they are sleeping, as long as the nose is visible registration is possible.

If I don't have pets to register, can I not be a member?
