How do I verify my camera or lens on Lenstag?

  • On your Dashboard click the button next to an item marked Unverified to get a window that looks like this:




  • You have two options for uploading a picture of your camera or lens serial number.

    • Have a text message sent to your camera phone, take a picture of your item's serial number and upload it.

    • Take a picture with a regular camera, upload it and optionally tell us exactly what we're looking at. :)

  • Once you've uploaded a picture of your camera or lens serial number, we'll make sure they match the gear you've added and use some secret sauce to make sure it's legit.

  • After we've approved everything (it usually takes less than 24 hours but can take up to a week), we'll send you an email and and you'll get to see the cool little Verified tag next to your camera or lens. And this means that you can securely transfer ownership to someone you sell your gear to and let the world know not to buy your stolen gear should the worst happen (but we won't even think about that).

How do I transfer my camera or lens to someone else on Lenstag?

  • On your Dashboard click the button next to an item marked Verified to get a window that looks like this:



  • Type in the email address of the person whom you're transferring your camera or lens to.

  • Verify the email address of the person whom you're transferring your camera or lens to.

  • Type in your password to prove you're really you.

  • Click

Next, you and the person you're transferring your gear to will get email notifications. Once the gear has been successfully registered on Lenstag by the transferee, you'll get another email letting you know and then you'll be able to remove the gear from your Dashboard.
