Georgina pet licensing

You may renew your pet's license within 45 days of your pet's current license expiration date. If you renew prior to the upcoming expiration date, your pet's new license will start the day after expiration, not on the date of purchase.

You may license in person at the Town of Georgina located at 26557 Civic Centre Rd. in Keswick.

The Town of Georgina provides licensing services for the following areas: Town of Georgina

Refunds may be granted if your pet has passed away, provided the request is submitted within 30 days of the license purchase date. After this period, we’re unfortunately unable to process a refund.

Partners typically receive licensing records from third party locations on a monthly basis. Once the licensing records have been picked up a member of your community's licensing team will upload the license record within 14 business days. Please reach out to your community directly to check on the status if you purchased a license and don't see the records reflected in your online account within 60 days of the purchase date.

Please visit the Town of Georgina in person as kennel licensing is not processed through DocuPet. They are located at 26557 Civic Centre Rd. in Keswick.

Licences expire exactly 365 days from the licence start date. If you renew prior to the upcoming expiration date, your pet's new licence will start the day after expiration, not on the date of purchase.

Licences are required to be renewed prior to the expiration date each year.

If you indicate that your pet is spayed/neutered on the registration page, the system will automatically take you to a page where you can upload the required documentation. You may either scan or take a photo (but make sure it’s a good one!) to get the file ready for upload on your computer.

Documentation uploaded via the online system is reviewed immediately. Once you complete your licensing purchase, your pet’s licensing package will be prepared for shipping. Packages are typically received within 10 to 12 business days after the order date.

If you can’t locate the document you received after the procedure was done, you will need to contact your vet to obtain your pet's records. Be sure to specify any and all pets you require documentation for.
Once you’ve got the paperwork in your hands, take a look to ensure:

• The document provided is the right type of proof required.
• Pet and pet owner account data matches your own.
• The document is clear and legible.

As you are required to provide documentation to demonstrate proof that your pet has been spayed/neutered, our customer care team members are not able to review this documentation and therefore cannot process new licenses for spayed/neutered pets over the phone. You must license online where you can upload the required documentation, or present it in person at the Town of Georgina located at 26557 Civic Centre Rd. in Keswick. Once we have documentation on file, we do not require it again, and thus, renewals can be processed over the phone.

The Town of Georgina requires documentation that verifies a pet has been spayed or neutered in order to receive the discounted rate. Requiring documentation ensures that pet information is accurate which is critical for identification reasons.

If your community requires proof of spay/neuter for your pet in order to receive a discounted licensing rate, you will need to upload the appropriate documentation stating that your pet has been spayed/neutered to your online account. Once the documentation has been approved by the Town of Gerogina, you will be eligible to receive the new discounted rate. Otherwise, you can visit the Town of Gerogina, in person at 26557 Civic Centre Rd. in Keswick and show proof of spay/neuter there.

Spay/Neuter documentation is required to be provided the first time you license your spayed/neutered pet. Proof of spay/neuter is required to receive the discounted rate. Documentation requirements help to ensure that pet information is accurate which is critical for identification reasons.
