Required Paperwork

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Proof of age, which is typically noted on the rabies vaccination certificate or a signed statement from a veterinarian, if you are applying for the lower license fee for an unaltered dog less than 8 months old or greater than 9 years old.

Your paperwork will not be returned to you, so please retain a copy of your documents for your records.
