How to Apply for a Pet License

If you have fewer than three dogs and cats:
Step 1: Have your pet(s) vaccinated for rabies, and keep the rabies vaccination certificate
Step 2: Fill out the attached application:

Dog License Application
Cat License Application

Step 3: Bring the completed application, rabies vaccination certificate, and application fee (as indicated on the application) to the Health Department at 301 Stockholm St, Baltimore MD 21230.

***Tip: No need to go in person. Read the instructions on the application and do it by mail. You must include a copy of your rabies certificate and proof of spay/neuter from your vet if you want the “altered” rate of $10, Code 1 on the form. Keep a copy of the application as it takes a few weeks for the City to send you the tag in the mail. The tag is to be worn on the pet's collar along with their rabies tag.

(If you plan to register 3 or more pets then you have to get a Multipet/Kennel License which requires an inspection.
