How to Acquire Your Norman Pet License

You are required to obtain a Norman pet license for all cats and dogs that are at least six months old within 30 days of acquiring the pets or moving to the city. 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. Finding a way to automate your Norman pet license with a site like DoNotPay takes away those pesky pet headaches. Couple that with the challenge of updating your personal information and your pet's rabies vaccination records, and automating the pet license process through DNP makes even more sense.
