LochTags is a Canadian NFC lost-and-found service. Attach a tag to your keys, luggage, or pet's collar; if the item is lost, a finder taps it with any phone — no app needed — and you're notified by email within seconds. It's not a GPS or Bluetooth tracker: it doesn't locate your item for you, it helps a finder return it, and your contact details stay private behind a secure form.
LochTags ਤੁਹਾਡੀਆਂ ਕੀਮਤੀ ਚੀਜ਼ਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਇੱਕ ਸੁਰੱਖਿਅਤ NFC ਚਿੱਪ ਜੋੜਦਾ ਹੈ। ਜੇ ਕੋਈ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਲੱਭਦਾ ਹੈ, ਤਾਂ ਫ਼ੋਨ ਦਾ ਇੱਕ ਟੈਪ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਨਾਲ ਜੋੜ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ — ਕੋਈ ਐਪ ਨਹੀਂ, ਕੋਈ ਬੈਟਰੀ ਨਹੀਂ, ਕੋਈ ਪਰੇਸ਼ਾਨੀ ਨਹੀਂ।
Quick answer: LochTags makes NFC lost-and-found tags for keys, luggage, and pets — a one-time purchase from $14.99 CAD with no required subscription. When someone finds your item, they tap the tag with any phone (no app) or type the printed code at lochtags.com/find, and you're emailed within seconds. It is not a GPS or Bluetooth tracker: it helps a finder return your item, not locate it yourself. Your name, number, and address are never on the tag. Canadian, veteran-founded; ships in Canada and the US.
Three steps from lost to found. No apps to download, no accounts to create for the person who finds your belongings.
Order online and your tags arrive programmed and ready. Activate them in minutes, then attach one to your keys, bag, or equipment.
Anyone with an NFC-capable iPhone (iPhone 7 or newer) or Android smartphone can tap the tag. They're taken directly to a simple, secure contact page — no app required.
You receive an email with the finder's contact details so you can arrange to get your belongings back. Your personal info stays private throughout.
Unlike Bluetooth trackers, NFC tags need no battery and no app. One-time purchase — add Pro only if you want more.
Flip the switch in your portal. Anyone who scans sees a red banner with reward and last-seen info — you're notified the moment they tap.
A finder can call or text you through our secure relay — neither of you ever sees the other's real number. Reply to the alert text and it's forwarded automatically. You can even keep your number hidden until your item or pet is marked lost.
Heading abroad? Add your WhatsApp, a temporary local number, a back-home contact, and your itinerary for airline staff. It shows to finders while you travel and disappears automatically when you're home.
One tap turns a lost pet's profile into a print-ready poster. And your emergency contact can get scan alerts too, so someone's always reachable.
Lost your pet? One click emails every shelter, rescue, and animal service near your home — 111 organizations across Canada and growing — with your pet’s profile and printable poster.
Every tap is logged with a timestamp and approximate location — so you can see where and when a tag was last scanned. Useful for recovery follow-up or confirming who's found your stuff. (It shows where a tag was last scanned — not your item's live location.)
Every tag is printed with a unique 7-character code that works even if the chip is damaged. Older phone, dead NFC, or quick visual ID — anyone can type the code at lochtags.com/p/<CODE> from any browser.
NFC tags are passive — they draw power from the scanning phone. Your tag works for the lifetime of the physical chip, with zero maintenance.
Works with any NFC-capable iPhone (iPhone 7 or newer) and Android device with NFC enabled. The finder needs nothing installed — it just opens in their browser.
The tag contains only a unique code. Your name, phone number, and address are never exposed. Finders contact you through our secure platform.
The basic finder service is included free with every tag — no mandatory subscription to receive notifications when your belongings are found.
Tag keys for your entire vehicle fleet, equipment lockers, or access cards. Bulk pricing available for commercial clients across Canada and the US.
LochTags is proudly built and operated out of Leduc, Alberta. When you contact us, you're talking directly to the people who run the system.

LochTags was created to solve a problem our clients kept running into: lost belongings that couldn't be returned because there was no safe, private way for the finder to reach the owner.
Co-founder Kevin Girdler — a veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces — applied the same precision and commitment that defined his service to build a simple, reliable solution. Together with co-founder and serial entrepreneur Emad Elshmoury, LochTags was designed from day one to actually work. No gimmicks. No unnecessary fees.

Plain-language guides on how NFC tags work, how they compare to Bluetooth trackers, and how to use them in the real world.
A QR code only helps if a stranger can scan it. Every LochTags tag gives a finder up to three ways to reach you: tap the NFC chip, or type the printed 7-character code at lochtags.com/find. No app, no camera — and it still works even if the tag is scratched or the chip is damaged.
| When someone finds your item | LochTags — tap or type | QR-only tag |
|---|---|---|
| Has an NFC phone (~94% of smartphones) | ✓ Tap — opens instantly, no app | Can't tap — must scan |
| Older phone, or NFC off | ✓ Type the 7-character code, any browser | Must open the camera and scan |
| Tag scratched, dirty, or worn | ✓ Code still works — just type it | A damaged code may not scan |
| App required for the finder? | Never | Sometimes |
Accessibility guidance (including the U.S. Section 508 program) recommends always offering a plain-text alternative to a QR code, because scanning can fail on older cameras, in poor light, or for finders who don't know how. LochTags builds that in: the printed 7-character code is the universal fallback that needs no camera and no app.
