Alpaca Registry, Inc. (ARI), headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska is the largest alpaca pedigree registry in the world. Using advanced DNA technology, ARI validates the parentage of alpacas submitted for pedigree registration. Once an alpaca’s parentage has been validated, ARI issues a registration certificate that provides known lineage (back to point of importation) and assigns a unique number to each alpaca. ARI itself is a tremendous asset to the entire alpaca community.

The first alpacas were imported into the United States in 1984. During the several years that followed that first importation, these original Alpaca owners began to meet and discuss the formation of an association. On June 17, 1988, at Shanty Creek Lodge in Bellaire, Michigan, 38 people gathered in a "special meeting" to discuss the formation (including by-laws and articles of incorporation) of what is now known as the Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association, Inc. (AOBA). The basic by-laws were approved in October of 1988, and finally filed in September of 1990. In June of 1991, the Internal Revenue Service, under 501c(5) granted the association a non-profit status.
