Aegis Pet Hub is a UK pet microchip database with one organising principle: when a pet goes missing, everything about the record should help it get home faster.
Aegis Pet Hub is operated by Aegis Pet Hub Ltd, a company registered in England & Wales. We run the website at aegispethub.co.uk, the microchip registry behind it, and the telephone enquiry line that answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
A microchip database only matters on the worst day of a keeper's year. We design for that day.
A one-off £20 registration covers the lifetime of the pet, and detail updates are free forever — because an out-of-date record is the single biggest reason reunifications fail.
Our free public lookup checks the Aegis registry first, then routes enquiries to other UK databases when a record lives elsewhere — online or through our 24/7 line.
Finders and keepers are connected through the platform, so a pet gets home without either party's personal details being exposed. Public searches never reveal keeper data.
Keepers register their pet's microchip, keep their details current for free, transfer keepership safely when a pet is rehomed, and raise lost or stolen alerts the moment they're needed. Implanters, veterinary practices, rescues and dog wardens get verified professional access for recording implantations and reuniting animals. And anyone — no account needed — can look up a microchip number at aegispethub.co.uk/lookup or call 020 8051 2117 at any hour.
One honest caveat we repeat everywhere: a registration is evidence of a registry entry, not conclusive legal proof of ownership. What we guarantee is a complete, tamper-evident history of the record.
Registry data is hosted in UK and EU data centres, encrypted in transit and at rest, and protected by role-based access controls — every access to a keeper record is logged, attributable and audited. We deliberately publish no more architectural detail than that; for our responsible disclosure route and security contact, see the Security page, and for what we collect and why, the Privacy Notice.
The single authoritative statement of our approval status as a pet microchip database in each UK nation is the Regulatory & Approved-Status Notice. That page takes precedence over any status wording elsewhere on this site, and it currently reads:
“Application in preparation — not yet an approved database.”
We will never describe ourselves as approved, compliant or listed in any nation until the responsible authority has confirmed it, and the notice will be updated the day that changes.
