Frequently Asked Questions

To find your star in the Star Register and via our ‘ Find My Star ’ app for iOS and Android, you’ll only need the 7-9 digit unique star reference number from the top of your certificate or your order confirmation email. When you first open our Star Register website or mobile apps, you’ll be able to see the most recently named stars. Enter your unique star reference number into the search bar at the top of the screen to bring up the star that you have named. When your star’s record has appeared, you can select this to see the name, coordinates and constellation of your star. You’ll also be able to see your star through our Star Viewer, where your star will be highlighted with an arrow, as well as through partner services such as Google Sky, NASA SkyView and ESO Archive.

All of the stars that are named with us are recorded in our online database, known as the Star Register. This is a publicly accessible website where you can search for the star you have named and see real colour photographs of it in the night sky! The stars most recently named with us can be found on our Star Register’s homepage, but you can look up your star by entering the 7-10 digit star reference number from the top of your star deed certificate. No computer? No problem! You can also access our Star Register from your smartphone using our free ‘Find My Star’ smartphone app so you can show off your star on the go! Read more

If you've placed your order very recently and your star isn't showing in our Star Register, our system is most likely working to find you the perfect star to name! This is normally completed quickly so if you try again in a little while, your star will be showing in our register as expected. If your star documents have already been shipped or received and you're having trouble finding your star using our app, please check the following: That you are searching for your star using our 'Find My Star' app, as you can only search using your star reference number on our app. You can find download links for this below. That you are only entering the star reference number when searching for your star. This will be the 7-10 digit number at the top of your certificate - you don't need to enter your star name or the constellation. That your star has been named through Star Name Registry - you will have received a certificate featuring our name and iconic gold seal if so. If you are still not able to locate your star , please don't hesitate to get in touch with our friendly support team with your star reference number or a photo of your certificate. We'll be able to take a look into this and provide a direct link to your star! Read more
