Register a new dog

Register your dog here for the first time if you have recently welcomed a new pet into your household or if you have moved to a different part of New Zealand. Registration ensures your dog is officially recorded with the local council, helps authorities return lost pets to their owners, and supports community services funded by registration fees. Whether you live in Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury, or any other region, every dog over a certain age must be registered. By completing the process online, you make sure your details are up to date and your dog is protected wherever you are in New Zealand.
