New Approved User information

cat and dog 612x612
Are you an organisation or individual that would like to become an Approved User? See the information below to find out more.

The NZCAR was created to provide a national database of microchipped companion animals (pets), that can be accessed by Approved Users (including vet clinics, SPCA and rescue organisations), so that pets can quickly be returned home.

Note: Approved Users were previously named 'Agents'. We are moving away from using this term, so you may see both terms used (but they refer to the same group of users).
