Northern Ireland: NIdirect - Dog Licensing in Northern Ireland

NIdirect would like to remind residents that if you own a dog you must ensure it is microchipped and you MUST have a dog licence.

By getting your dog licensed you have a much greater chance of getting your treasured pet returned if it is lost or stolen. A licence costs either £5 or £12.50 depending on circumstances.
Once you have your dog microchipped, you can licence it on line by using the link below or request an application form from Environmental Heath Service.

If you keep a dog without a licence you can be issued with a fixed penalty of £75 and non-payment of this could result in a fine of up to £1000.

For more information and to find your local Council Dog Licensing Office, click here
