WASHINGTON & SAN DIEGO - Michimich -- The COVID-19 worldwide pandemic is sounding the alarm on the critical need to locate emergency contacts. The Next of Kin Registry (NOKR) is your Emergency family locator system. The registry has been helping people worldwide since 2004 and has been a partner of the American Red Cross, FEMA, the US Postal Service and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children since 2006.

What information is in the registry?
Emergency contacts
Next of Kin
Vital medical information that would be critical to emergency response agencies. Stored information is only accessible via a secure area that is only accessible by law enforcement or healthcare facilities that have been vetted and registered with NOKR.

You are never asked for confidential information such as your driver license or social security number. All you need to register is the names of your family members and possibly some ID markers, such as a scar or tattoo. NOKR does not own registrants' information. It is made available to registered emergency agencies only during times of urgent need. NOKR also offers free printable id cards on the website along with Free decals by request for your state id cards or passports.
