Via the Office of the City Clerk

Owners of the more than 100,000 dogs in Chicago now have the convenience of registering their dog online thanks to our ongoing office modernization initiative.

The innovative peel and stick license stands up to  weather conditions and is simply applied to the back of your dog's rabies tag. The sticker includes your dog's registration number and a number someone can call to report your dog found should you become separated.

 

Reuniting you with your lost pet is just one of the many benefits of registering your dog. In addition, a city dog registration also is required when taking your dog to an animal care facility that boards or provides dog day care services and is used to obtain the required permit and tag to access Chicago Park District dog friendly areas. A dog license tag is $5 for neutered dogs or $50 for unneutered.

For more information or to purchase your dog license, visit the Dog Registration page on the City Clerk's Web site here. Dog registration also can be purchased at our main office in City Hall Room 107 (121 N. LaSalle) or at our two satellite offices (5674 S. Archer Avenue and 5430 W. Gale St.). For more information, call our office at 312-744-DOGS.
