Instructions to License Online
Ready to purchase your license? If you would like to license online, a convenience fee of $2.00 will apply for each transaction. Any required documents, such as your pet’s rabies vaccination certificate, may be scanned and uploaded or submitted later by fax, mail or email. The license will be issued after all required documents are received.
Required Paperwork
- A current rabies vaccination certificate is required if the rabies vaccination on file has expired. Please check your certificate for correct address and pet information.
- A one-time proof of spay/neuter, such as a signed statement from a veterinarian or an invoice for services, is required if you are applying for the lower spayed/neutered license fee.
Your paperwork will not be returned to you, so please retain a copy of your documents for your records.
