What happens at the MYCHIP table? And what if your child is shy, nervous, or just not feeling it that day?

First, we get it. We’re parents too. Kids can be unpredictable, new situations can feel overwhelming, and there is absolutely no pressure from us.

The MYCHIP process is simple and takes about 10 minutes. We’ll walk you and your child through each step, including fingerprints, a current photo, and a short voice recording. When you’re finished, the identifying materials go home with you. MYCHIP retains none of the information.

Have a nervous kiddo? Let them watch first. Ask us questions. Give them a minute to warm up. And if they decide they’re not comfortable? That’s okay too. ❤️

Our goal is for this to feel like a positive, easy community resource for families, not something your child needs to be afraid of.

Come say hi, learn about the program, and see what you think. No appointment, no pressure, and no cost.

Once MYCHIP is complete… what do you actually do with it?

Take it home and keep it somewhere safe and easy to access, just like you would a birth certificate or other important family documents.

Remember, MYCHIP does not keep a copy. All of the identifying materials generated through the program are given to you, and MYCHIP retains none of your child’s information.

The kit is yours to keep so that, in the event your child is ever lost or missing, you have important identifying information ready to provide to law enforcement when every minute matters.

Our suggestion? Put it somewhere secure that you’ll remember and can access quickly if you ever need it. As your child grows and their appearance changes, consider keeping their current information and photos with your important documents too.

Hopefully, your MYCHIP materials will sit safely at home and never need to be used. That’s exactly what we want. 💙

Who can participate in MYCHIP? It’s not just for little kids!

MYCHIP identification services are available for children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to teens. And this year, we’re also offering FREE identification services for senior citizens and vulnerable adults, including loved ones living with Alzheimer’s or dementia.

The goal is simple: have important identifying information prepared and in the hands of the family or caregiver so it can be provided to law enforcement quickly if a loved one ever becomes lost or goes missing.

And remember: MYCHIP retains NONE of the identifying information. All materials go home with you.

Whether you’re preparing for your child, an aging parent, or another loved one who may be at risk of wandering, we’d love to have you stop by. 💙

One of the biggest questions parents may have about MYCHIP is: What happens to my child’s information? 🔐

The answer is simple: it goes home with you.

MYCHIP does not retain your child’s identifying information. All identifying materials generated through the program are given directly to the child’s family.

That means MYCHIP isn’t creating a file on your child or keeping their information for later. Instead, you leave with the information so it’s available to you if you ever need to provide it to law enforcement.

It’s your child.
It’s your information.
It stays in your hands. 💙

And thanks to the Massachusetts Freemasons, MYCHIP is offered to families completely FREE of charge.

Come learn more and get your child’s MYCHIP identification materials at Douglas Oktoberfest!

Why should you consider MYCHIP for your kids?

Because in an emergency, having accurate information ready to go can make a difference.

MYCHIP helps parents create a comprehensive identification package for their child with information that can be provided to law enforcement if their child is ever lost or missing.

And here’s the part we really want parents to feel comfortable about: ALL of the identifying materials go home with you. MYCHIP retains NONE of your child’s information.

It’s completely FREE, takes only a short amount of time, and gives you a resource you can keep on hand.

Hopefully, you’ll tuck it away and never need it. But if the unthinkable ever happens, you won’t be scrambling to gather important identifying information during an already overwhelming moment.

Massachusetts Freemasons have been providing child identification services since 1988, helping more than 300,000 children through the program.

A few minutes today. A little more peace of mind tomorrow. 💙

Who’s behind MYCHIP?

For more than 35 years, Massachusetts Freemasons have been helping families across the Commonwealth be a little more prepared.

Since 1988, the Massachusetts Child Identification Program, or MYCHIP, has provided identification materials for more than 300,000 children — completely FREE of charge to families.

The Masons of Massachusetts, partnering with the Massachusetts Crime Prevention Officers Association, provide MYCHIP resources to make this important service available to the public.

MYCHIP is designed to give parents and guardians important identifying information that can be provided to law enforcement to assist in the speedy and safe recovery of a child should they ever go missing.

It’s information you hope you’ll never need, but having it ready and accessible can provide a little extra peace of mind. 💙

We’re proud to bring this longstanding community program to Douglas Oktoberfest this year. Stop by, meet the volunteers, ask questions, and learn more about how MYCHIP works!
