Electronics Registration

Why register?:

  • $2 per electronics.
  • Items registered with the Police Department are affixed with a unique label that corresponds to their serial number or unique manufacturer-issued number.
  • This information is kept in a database which enhances the ability to relocate stolen items.
  • Registered items have much greater chance of being recovered and returned to their owners.
  • The visibility of the label make registered items less likely to be stolen.

To Register Electronics:

  1. Make a payment for  Electronic Registration to the Police Department via CatDollars or Credit/Debit Card on MyBill, or in cash at the Cashiering Office.
  2. Ensure that you know your device's serial number, as it will be required for registration. For assistance, UCM Police staff can help you find your serial number.
  3. Visit the UC Merced Police Department or a Property Registration tabling event. If the item is too large to bring to us, call (209) 228-2677 (CAT-COPS) to schedule an appointment.
  4. An SSA will help complete the registration process by providing you a digital form and assigning your property a unique label ID.
