How to update your pets details

Your vet and NSW Councils are able to update the de-sexed status of your cat or dog. 

We will require your pet's microchip number and one of the following documents:

  • The sterilisation certificate with the microchip number included on it 
  • A letter from the vet which includes a V number of the vet and the microchip number
  • A statutory declaration 
  • A receipt for the cost of de-sexing

It is important to have the de-sexed status of your pet updated on the NSW Pet Registry before you pay your life-time registration fee as discounts apply.


To report a missing pet online, the owner needs to update the pet's details using the 'update' link on the 'My Pets' page.

The update link can also be used to notify that your pet has passed away. Vets can also make these notifications on the NSW Pet Registry on your behalf.
