In most cases, no. Keyport will send you Keyport Blade blanks based upon your current set of key's manufacturer's code #. All you will need to do is take the Blade blanks we send you along with your current set of keys to a local locksmith to be duplicated.
The only time Keyport needs a copy of your key is in the rare case where we cannot obtain a similar key blank. High-security or restricted keys are examples of such keys. Keyport may also need a copy of your key in the case of rare keys, keys that our locksmiths cannot identify via photo, or certain transponder-chipped vehicle keys. If your vehicle key is not on-board programmable you may opt to have the Blade and blank chip sent to you and have it programmed by an auto locksmith or dealer, or send in your original key to be cloned (depending on year, make, and model of your car). Check our Auto Checker to see if your auto key is compatible.
