Registering Your Dog
If you get a dog, you are obligated by law to register them.
Furthermore, you will need to submit a notification each time the dog’s owner or home changes, as well as in the case of the dog’s death. Each type of notification is available at the Civic Life Department, Living Environment Division, or at the General Civic Service Division at either of the ward offices.
Application / Notification Forms
The application and notification forms are available at each city hall or district office, or they are available below to be printed, filled out, and submitted at the office windows.
Registration Application (once in dog’s lifetime)
The owner must submit a registration form to the city within 30 days of acquiring their dog (or within the 30 days after the dog turns 90 days old, if the dog is acquired within 90 days of its birth).
The fee for registering a pet dog is 3000 yen per dog.
(Note) At the time of registration, you will receive a license. Please attach it to the dog.

Notification of Change (owner’s change of address/name, dog’s change of address, etc.)
The owner must submit a notification of change of registration within 30 days of the owner’s address or name being changed, or the dog’s home being changed.
If the dog’s home is relocated to a different municipality, as in the case of a move or transfer, a notification of a new address must be submitted to that municipality.
Upon submitting a change of the dog’s home from a different municipality into this one, the dog’s previous license will be exchanged for a new one from the city.
