Your car. Your livelihood. Your freedom.
It’s your school run.
Your workday. Your weekend away.
A stolen car means more than an insurance claim. It can mean an excess to pay, lost work and disrupted family routines. Mark it before someone takes it.
Identification beyond the VIN.
Microscopic identifiers are applied at multiple suitable points, so identification does not rely on a single plate or stamping.
Make the code lead back to you.
Register your kit and vehicle so authorised investigators can connect a readable NanoTag code with its registration record.
Why owners are adding security
Car theft is hitting owners hard.
Act before your car is targeted.
Your car keeps your life moving. Recent Australian reporting shows why taking extra precautions deserves your attention now. Start with secure habits and effective barriers, then add NanoTag’s identification and warning labels.

Mark it. Warn them. Make it a harder target.
One spray system.
Thousands of identifying marks.
NanoTags are microscopic metal identifiers carrying an etched code. Mixed into a specialist adhesive, they can be distributed across suitable vehicle components.
- Apply. Mark multiple suitable areas using the kit instructions, or book our mobile installation.
- Display. Fit the warning labels so the identification is visible as a deterrent.
- Register. Link your kit code and vehicle details through the NanoTag registration portal.
- Deter. Make it clear your car carries hidden identifiers across multiple components, backed by a registered ownership record.
Application coverage depends on access and following the instructions. NanoTag does not provide a live location signal.
Attack the profit behind the theft.
Make your car harder to hide.
Make its parts harder to sell.
A VIN identifies your car, but it does not identify every part a thief can strip and sell. When those parts carry little information linking them to your vehicle, their origins can be difficult to prove.
NanoTag puts thousands of microscopic identifiers across suitable components throughout your car, linking marked parts to your registration. Visible warnings tell thieves the markings are there. That challenges the anonymity they may rely on to disguise a vehicle or sell its parts.
Put the risk in front of the thief. Before they take your car.

Why identification is the final step
Give thieves a reason to walk away.
Before your car is taken.
Profit is a driver of organised vehicle theft. A stolen car may be resold, disguised or dismantled for parts. When components carry little identifying information, their origin can be harder to establish.
Easy to separate.
Harder to trace.
Conventional identifiers do not appear on every removable part. Once a car is dismantled, that gap can make it easier to present stolen components as legitimate stock.
Hidden identification.
Visible warning.
NanoTag distributes coded identifiers across suitable components and links them to your registration. Warning labels put that identification in plain sight before a thief chooses a target.
Target the profit.
Raise the perceived risk.
Thieves looking for profit want property they can move on. NanoTag is designed to raise the perceived risk of taking your car by making its distributed identification known upfront.
Prevention is the point of the final layer. Keep your locks, immobiliser and other security working. Add NanoTag to challenge the anonymity behind profit-motivated theft, with marked components and visible warnings. Each layer gives you another way to make your car a less attractive target.
The final layer. Across the vehicle.
Make your car a harder target.
Put thieves on notice.
NanoTag adds the final identification layer: thousands of microscopic identifiers across suitable vehicle components, backed by visible warnings and your ownership registration.
04 / THE FINAL IDENTIFICATION LAYERNanoTag. One vehicle.
NanoTag. One vehicle.
Thousands of identifying marks.
NanoTag adds a deterrent that reaches across suitable vehicle components. Thousands of hidden identifiers, backed by your registration, challenge the idea that a stolen car can simply be stripped into anonymous parts.
Make the message clear before the theft: this car is marked, registered and a riskier proposition.

Worth asking your insurer
Could added security affect your premium?
Some insurers consider vehicle security features when assessing premiums. Ask your insurer whether NanoTag identification can be recorded on your policy and whether it changes your price.
Get their answer before relying on a saving.
Any reduction depends on the insurer, policy, vehicle and underwriting criteria. A discount may not be available. NanoTag has no insurer partnership or confirmed insurance discount for this kit.
Do not select “immobiliser”, “alarm” or “GPS tracker” to describe NanoTag. Explain that it is microscopic vehicle identification and deterrence.
What the insurer review found →Before you choose
Your questions, answered.
Will NanoTag stop someone starting my car?
NanoTag does not immobilise the engine or block key signals. Its prevention role is to put thieves on notice: your car is marked across suitable components and linked to a registration record. Use it alongside locks, an immobiliser and other suitable security. Identification can also assist if marked property is recovered.
I already have an immobiliser or tracker. Why add NanoTag?
An immobiliser helps prevent unauthorised starting. A tracker can help locate a vehicle. NanoTag adds identifying marks to multiple components, creating a link that can remain with marked parts after they are separated from the vehicle.
Is there a monthly fee?
No subscription is required for the physical NanoTag marking or free Basic registration. Optional Premium registration is available separately. It is not required to use this vehicle kit.
How are the markings found and read?
The application adhesive includes a UV trace to help investigators locate marked areas. Magnification is used to read a NanoTag identification code, which can then be checked against registration records.
What vehicles can be marked?
The vehicle spray system is intended for cars, SUVs, 4WDs and utes. Follow the supplied instructions and surface restrictions. Contact us before ordering if you have a specialist vehicle or are unsure about suitability.
Can you install it at my home or workplace?
Yes. Check your address on the installation page. Eligible addresses can continue to the booking-request page. Our team then contacts you to confirm the appointment. You are only charged once the team has contacted you and the booking is confirmed. Further locations are planned.
What if my car is stolen or I sell it?
Report theft to police and your insurer, and update the status in your NanoTag registration account. Supply your registration details to police. If you sell the vehicle, contact NanoTag for the ownership transfer process so the record stays current.
