Transferring a pet registration from another Council?

To save you time and money, we recommend starting a new registration instead of transferring.

Pet registration is due on 10 April every year. If you start a new registration now, your pet will be registered until 9 April 2027.

This means you will receive the extra time between now and 10 April 2026, at no additional cost.
