If your details have changed, such as your email address, your data will not have automatically matched and you will not automatically gain access to your authorised agent resources. You will need to apply for authorised agent access through our authorised agent registration form.
What do I do if I can't see my data, such as pets?
All your pet’s details are securely held on our database and new website – don’t worry, your data hasn’t been compromised or lost. If you have created an online account with the same email address you have used with us previously and believe there is information missing from your new online account such as your pet's, then we may just need to clean up some of your data first. The quickest way to get help is if you fill in the 'can't see your pet' form within your account. Our team will then verify your information so that your online account can be updated. 
How to help a stray pet
