Bike Registration

Bike Registration, Safety and Security

As a service to the University community, the Yale Police Department registers bicycles owned by students, faculty and staff members through the National Bike Registry. Bicycle registrations are valid for 10 years.

To register your bicycle, please email Holly Parker or over the phone at 203-432-9245, and provide your current mailing address. There is no charge for bicycle registration. In addition to your bike information being on the National Bike Registry website, the National Bike Registry provides a decal advertising that your bike is registered which is a deterrent to thieves.

Missing or stolen bicycles can be tracked by our officers through the bike registry database.
