Global Registration Services, Inc. provides registration assistance for bedding, furniture,stuffed toy, and quilted clothing products with hidden filling materials. We work with the manufacturers of those products, as well as importers and distributors that perform registration for the factory or factories they work with.

GRS offers post-registration services known as Monitored Services. Monitored Services give ongoing support of monitoring compliance of registration licenses. You can read more about these services and their benefits on our website.

With Monitored Services, you can efficiently store and manage your URN or Quilted Clothing license data on our website. GRS can act on your behalf to manage your yearly license renewals, and consolidate your many renewals into one yearly payment plus added guarantees, depending on your level of management.

When a retailer partners with GRS, they require their vendors to subscribe to their database on the GRS website. This is done by selecting the retailer listed under Retail Compliance, providing your Vendor ID and paying the yearly subscription fee.

Any and all URNs or Quilted Clothing licenses and labels of factories with products that are sold to that retailer must be subscribed to a Monitored Service and then linked to that retailer.

As the first stuffed registration company in the world, GRS combines 50+ years of expertise and relationships with state departments to offer unparalleled support for manufacturers, importers, and retailers of stuffed articles. 

Along with our sister company American Law Label, we help businesses avoid unnecessary costs, increase efficiency, and save time while navigating the complex world of compliance. 

The GRS database offers retailers a custom snapshot of their vendors’ live compliance status. This allows retailers to include URN verification in their product testing protocols, giving them complete peace of mind that their products are fully compliant and will avoid costly marketplace violations.

1. Create a login or sign into your account on www.globalrsinc.com

3. Add your URN and/or Quilted Clothing license under a Monitored Service and make your payment.
   
   3a. Assign your URN or Quilted Clothing table to your retailer during the Monitored Services enrollment process.

We will go through the above steps in more detail on the coming pages, complete with screenshots. You can familiarize yourself with the process before you get started, or follow along with them as a guide when you are on the site. If at any time you run into trouble or have questions, contact a GRS Compliance Specialist for help. Our contact info can be found at the end of the document.

When you create a login, be prepared to have all the necessary information to fill out your account. The information needed to complete your account is fairly detailed. It includes your company owner’s name, title and address, company legal status, incorporation date and FEIN. 

This information can be added or edited under “My Account” -> “Contact Information”. This information is required before payment on any services can be made.

After subscribing to a Monitored Service, you need to upload your regulatory licenses into the system. Our system will automatically create a table with the required regulatory agencies based on the product type(s) you selected. 

Acceptable file formats are .pdf, .jpeg or .png.

Your retailer requires you to upload copies of your law and/or textile labels. When uploading, you will need to have your product information (e.g., name, description, unique ID used by the retailer) and high-quality label files on hand. Check your vendor page on our website to understand your retailer’s specific upload requirements. 

Acceptable file formats are .pdf, .jpeg, or .png.

Our entry-level Monitored Service is GlobalTrak. GlobalTrak allows you to store and manage your licenses using our proprietary system, but leaves you responsible for handling license renewals, registration, and overall compliance. If you want peace of mind about your compliance needs and would like GRS to handle them, you can upgrade to License Management or Guaranteed Compliance at any time. If you choose License Management or Guaranteed Compliance upfront, we will handle your enrollment process on your behalf.

Law Label Lookup™ is an online visibility solution that does not include label compliance verification at this time. We highly suggest having our Labeling Team review your law or textile labels to ensure they are compliant. Our Labeling Team offers auditing, design, and printing of law and textile labels.
