Dog Licensing

The easiest way to get your pet licensed or keep your license current is by paying online. You must have a personal code to renew your pet’s license online or by telephone. Your personal code appears on your license renewal notice. Please note animal licenses can be purchased at your local animal care center as well. Reduced license fees are available for senior citizens (age 60 or older) and disabled military veterans. Seniors must submit proof of age, such as a copy of their driver’s license, passport, or other official government-issued identification. Disabled military veterans must submit either a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs disability award letter or a Veterans Health Administration healthcare enrollee card that states the bearer has a service-connected disability. All such methods of proof may be uploaded online at the time you register your pet or renew your existing license.

Past-due licenses cannot currently be processed online or by phone. If your license is past due, you must go to an animal care center or send a check by mail with applicable penalties included.

Pay by phone at: (877) U-PAY-PET or (877) 872-738 

Replacement Licenses/Duplicate Tag:

If a pet’s license becomes lost, a replacement license may be purchased by submitting a check for $5 to the Department’s Licensing Division. 

For further information, please contact the Enforcement Servicing Bureau’s Licensing Division at (562) 345-0400.

A duplicate license tag can be obtained by mailing a check for $5 payable to the County of Los Angeles Animal Care and Control at 12440 East Imperial Highway, 6th Floor, Norwalk, CA 90650.

Please provide your pet's license number on the check. If you do not know your pet's license number, call our Enforcement Services Bureau’s Licensing Section at (562) 345‑0400.
