Bicycle Registration Program

The Puyallup Police Department does not have a Bicycle Registration Program, but we do have a link to the National Bicycle Registry where you can register your bicycle. It is a useful law enforcement tool that allows us to compare serial numbers to a national database. There are currently 36 law enforcement agencies in our state that are using this national registry to locate owners of lost or stolen bicycles. If your bicycle is lost or stolen in Puyallup and recovered in another city, it can be traced back to you by running the serial number through the registry.
