Compare features and find the best bike registration service for you
Founded in 1992, Datatag pioneered forensic bike marking using microscopic transponders, UV ink, and RFID chips endorsed by UK police and major insurers. A Datatag kit permanently marks the bike at the molecular level, making it extremely difficult to dispose of stolen property without detection.
Datatag's strength lies in its physical marking technology rather than digital accessibility — there is no mobile app, no self-service portal, and no international database. BikeGuard takes a fully digital approach: register in minutes from any device, attach a QR sticker, and access a globally searchable ownership record for free.
