Order a Dog License by MailLicense Application and PaperworkDownload and print the dog license application form. Please fill out all fields completely. Your dog is required to have a current rabies vaccine in order to obtain a license. Proof of vaccination is requested at time of purchase, but not required. Your veterinarian can provide you with a rabies certificate, verifying your dog's vaccination status. We offer discounted license fees for altered dogs (spayed/neutered) and for senior (65+) pet owners. If you are applying for a discounted license, you will need to provide proof of spay/neuter or proof of age at time of purchase. Your veterinarian can provide you with a spay/neuter certificate that verifies your dog is fixed. We are unable to return copies of any documents you submit. Be sure to retain a copy for your own records. PaymentPayment must be included with your mailed application or a license cannot be issued. We accept checks and money orders as payment for mailed license applications. Write checks payable to The City of Philadelphia.
