All dogs and cats must be registered with the NSW Pet Registry by the time they are 6 months old.
You can register your pet online at the NSW Pet Registry, through your MyService NSW account, or by visiting the council during office hours.
To do this, you'll need:
- a Certificate of Identification with your pet's microchip number
- an application for Permanent Registration
- an Australian driver's license, passport or Medicare card
- a valid bank card
Registration fees will vary, but are a once-off payment providing you stay in NSW.
Concessions are available for eligible pensioners and animals that have been desexed. To receive a concession, desexing details must be included in your pet's microchip record.
