The NSW Pet Registry
Councils play a significant role in promoting and overseeing responsible ownership of dogs and cats in their local area.
The NSW Pet Registry is available for cat and dog owners to update their contact details, report their pet missing, transfer ownership and pay most lifetime registration fees online. The NSW Pet Registry can be found at www.petregistry.nsw.gov.au
Council users should continue to use the NSW Pet Registry – Council Portal at: www.petregistry.nsw.gov.au/car
