International Philatelic Register Information

Registration may be for a variety of reasons, including:

• To provide an independent worldwide site for registering an image and history for insurance, resale or historic record purposes.

  
  

• To provide a means for showing an item being offered by private treaty sale.
  

• To solicit offers for an item.

All registrations are made on a confidential basis and the level of access to the image and ownership information is strictly determined by the registrant. Images to be registered can be done by the owner via emailing an image file or by sending a photo (such as from an auction catalog). Registered items will be assigned a number and password which is the only way the image can be called up. The owner can thus control who has access to the image file and descriptive information. Ownership information is never disclosed unless the owner wishes, such as when he is soliciting bids. The charge for registration of an item is $25 when you supply the image files and $35 if we have to create them from a photo submission. If an item is sold, it can be re-registered by the new owner for a nominal fee.
