Theft prevention

To deter theft and reunite musicians with lost or stolen gear, IMIRAD offers a dedicated section that allows users to report missing instruments. As of 2020, IMIRAD does not charge for the service, which is provided to the public along with traditional musical instrument registrations.[3]

International collaboration

In 2016 IMIRAD partnered with Hong Kong Luxury Retailer Luxify in providing registry services for all instruments showcased by the retailer.

United States collaboration

On July 4, 2020, Weymann Guitars announced that all past and future instruments will be automatically registered with IMIRAD registration service.[4]
