Instructions to License Online
A Jacksonville Pet License is available at all veterinary clinics in the City. If you do not plan to license your pet at your veterinary clinic and 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 email, mail or fax. The license will be issued after all required documents are received.
Please note that free licenses cannot be obtained through the online payment system. If you are a senior citizen (62+) or a disabled pet owner, please click here for other submission options. If you are a senior citizen licensing additional pets at the regular license fees, the online payment system may be used.
If you prefer to pay by check or money order, please license by mail.
