Lifetime Dog Licenses

Lifetime dog licenses are available if you are going to have the dog tattooed or implanted with a microchip.  These licenses may be purchased by mail or in person at the Lehigh County Government Center.  A tattoo number is issued by the County fiscal Office at the time of application. Completion of a Permanent Identification Form is required by the veterinarian tattooing, implanting or scanning the microchip.  This form must be returned to the County Treasurer within 30 days of a receipt.  A dog is not legally licensed until a dog owner returns the completed certificate.  

Please mail or bring the completed documents to:
