North Dakota's Voluntary Location Registration program started in 2005 as a cooperative effort between the North Dakota State Board of Animal Health and the North Dakota Stockmen's Association (NDSA). The 2005 brand renewal process by the NDSA combined with individual mailings from the Board led to the voluntary registration of approximately 8,000 locations within the state of North Dakota. The Premises Registration program has transitioned to the Location Identification program. Premises Identification Numbers (PINs) and Location Identification numbers (LIDs) are confidential at the State level and are used by the state and federal Animal Health officials for official disease testing and investigation purposes only. A producer can choose to use PINs and LIDs for their own purposes, such as livestock movement or age and source verification programs.

A producer's location can be voluntarily registered in the state by filling out the form below. The ND State Board of Animal Health will continue to register new locations and update existing location information on an as needed basis. During disease investigations or required disease testing, locations will be registered by the state.
