Next Of Kin Registry

We don’t like to think about personal tragedies. But terrible things do happen. It makes sense to be prepared.

For instance, put emergency contact information on cell phones and other gadgets. That tells emergency responders whom to contact.

But your cell phone or iPod could be lost in an emergency. So you should take other precautions.

I urge you to sign up at the Next of Kin Registry (NOKR). You simply enter your name and address. Then, enter your emergency contact information. You can register multiple times.

In an emergency situation, authorities can access the Registry. Only registered agencies can use it. Also, your data is not stored on the same site where you register.

You should also register your children. List yourself as the emergency contact. It will help you sleep a little easier at night!

The Next Of Kin Registry (NOKR) was established as a FREE tool for daily emergencies and national disasters. NOKR is an emergency contact system to help if you or your family member is missing, injured or deceased. NOKR provides the public a free proactive service to store emergency contacts, next of kin and 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 emergency public trust agencies that have registered with NOKR.

NOKR is your trusted safe guarding organization for all personal emergency contacts worldwide. NOKR does not own the information we store, this information belongs to the registrants and is made available securely to registered emergency agencies during times of urgent need.

NOKR is the protector of this vital bridging resource to reconnect individuals and families after urgent events.

NOKR is a non-partisan; non-profit 501(c)(3) dedicated to bridging rapid emergency contact information. NOKR was established in January 2004, for daily emergency situations.

The injury or passing of a loved one is a difficult time for families and friends. This sad time is compounded when you're not informed when a loved one is injured or passes on. This happens when Local and State Agencies are unable to locate a family member or Next Of Kin. This would happen for numerous reasons:

A lack of information about family or contacts.
A lack of resources available to search for family members, emergency contacts or "Next Of Kin".

Many people think that if they are carrying a driver's license, identification card or credit cards, authorities will know who their emergency contact is. These forms of identity only indicate who you are not who should be contacted in the event of urgent need. To add to this problem, often times your current identification is not updated or readily available and it becomes very difficult and complex to locate emergency contacts.Who will speak for you or your family member when they can't? NOKR is the solution.
