How to Acquire Your Norman Pet License

You also must renew your Norman pet registration within 30 days of when it is due to expire every year or three years, depending upon which license option you choose.

When life gets busy, especially if you've just moved to a new city or gotten a new pet, remembering all those dates and deadlines can be taxing.

Couple that with the challenge of updating your personal information and your pet's rabies vaccination records, and automating the through DNP makes even more sense.
