Immobilize is a free, online registration service that allows individuals and businesses to record ownership details of their valuable possessions or company assets. The information entered into Immobilize is stored on a secure database and is made accessible to law enforcement agencies via the National Mobile Property Register (NMPR). This helps police departments to identify the rightful owners of lost or stolen property, increasing the chances of items being recovered and returned to their lawful owners.
