Pet licensing is an essential part of animal care and control in the Norman community. Norman City Ordinance requires all dogs and cats, age six months and older, to be licensed within 30 days of being in the City of Norman.
Pet licenses can be purchased online, by mail, or in-person at the Norman Animal Welfare Center.
In-person pet licensing services are available at the Norman Animal Welfare facility by appointment. To schedule an appointment, call 405-292-9736. Walk-ins will be accommodated if space is available.
Residents can always purchase and renew pet licenses online at petdata.com.

Pet License Requirements
To license your pet with the City of Norman, you need:

All paperwork will not be returned to you, so please retain a copy of your documents for your records.
