Previously registered active companies operating in the State of Maryland will receive a re-registration
packet each year (late December - early January) which will list currently owned amusement rides and their
associated details, including serial numbers, manufacturer, capacity, etc. It is the responsibility of
the owner to review the list and make any correction and/or deletions, and then send it back to the
Safety Inspection Unit office either by fax (410-333-7683) or you may scan the document and email it to
ARrequest@dllr.state.md.us, which is the
preferred method. The only way for an owner to receive a Certificate of Registration is to submit this
package back to us.
