How to Avoid Late Fees

If your license renewal is overdue by more than 30 days, you'll be charged a late fee when re-registering your pet. Here are a few tips for avoiding late fees:

1. Schedule your dog's annual rabies vaccination in advance so that your appointment is two to four weeks before your license renewal is due. This will help remind you to send in your renewal documents.
2. Pay for multiple years in advance.
3. If possible, schedule your dog's annual exam and vaccinations on or around their adoption date to make it easier to remember.
4. If you are already close to the renewal date, use DoNotPay for immediate registration.

1. Recent rabies vaccination certificate
2. Spay/neuter documentation
3. Proof of owner's age to obtain senior discounts

The first thing you must do when licensing your pet is to make sure their vaccination records are current. Most animal adoption agencies require all pets to be fully vaccinated before adoption, but if you're not certain of the dog's vaccination or spay/neuter status, you need to schedule a veterinary appointment right away. According to California and Solano County laws, you must license your pet within 30 days of obtaining it.
