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.
Only spayed or neutered pets may be licensed online. If your pet is unaltered, the pet is required to have a microchip, license and breeder’s permit. Please go in person to City of Henderson Animal Care & Control to license.

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.
- Proof of spay/neuter, such as a signed statement from a veterinarian or an invoice for services, is required if the pet has been altered since the last licensing period and you are applying for the lower spayed/neutered license fee.
- Proof of age is required to receive the discounted fees for senior citizens age 55 and over.
Your paperwork will not be returned to you, so please retain a copy of your documents for your records.
