Dog licenses are mandatory in The City of Boulder. In fact, licenses are mandatory in nearly every community across North America. Why? Because licenses help keep pets and the communities they live in safe.
Since licensing your dog is a requirement, our goal is to make this process quick, simple, and valuable. Check out the ways you can license your pet below and feel good knowing that licensing revenue funds important initiatives helping to improve your community. To further support these efforts, DocuPet will always donate 20% of designer tag and product sales to our local Safe&Happy Fund partner in Boulder, the Humane Society of Boulder Valley.
The fastest and easiest way to license or renew is right here. You'll create a profile for your pet, upload photos, process your license registration, and receive purchase confirmations via email. Payment can be made using a credit card or Visa/Mastercard debit card and your package will be shipped out next business day. Each year, you just need to log in to your existing account and renew - it's super easy!
In person licensing is available at the following location(s) however it's important to know you will still receive your tag in the mail:
Humane Society of Boulder Valley: 2323 55th Street
Boulder Police Department: 1805 33rd Street
Don't forget to check hours of operation, appointment policies, and accepted payment methods prior to heading out.
If you wish, you can download the below form and complete it prior to arriving.
If you opt to license via snail mail - keep in mind processing your registration will take a lot longer!
Make sure you complete the below form in full and that it is free of any errors otherwise your registration may not be successfully processed. The fine print is there for a reason so keep an eye out for accepted payment methods, who the check should be made out to, where it should be mailed, and any required supporting documentation.
If you're having trouble licensing online and need to get your registration processed in a hurry, you can give our customer care team a call and they may be able to process your pet license over the phone. Note that we can only accept credit cards and Visa/Mastercard debit as payment.
Pet licenses are required for all dogs living in the City of Boulder. They must be renewed every year prior to December 31st. You will receive reminders from us about upcoming license expirations via mail, phone, and email.
