The animal registration system has been mandatory nationwide since January 1, 2014. Animal registration numbers are issued to animals subject to registration. Animals subject to registration are dogs (puppies) that are 2 months or older, regardless of whether they are in the countryside or the city, and are kept in houses or semi-houses or for companion purposes. Failure to register an animal subject to registration will result in a fine of up to 1 million won.동물등록번호 조회

Description of animal registration methods

💡 Are internal microchips safe? Animal Registration Procedure
For initial registration, you must visit the animal registration agency and visit with your animal.
In some areas, registration is only possible through an agency according to local government ordinances, so if you wish to register at a city, county, or district office, you must check in advance whether it is possible.
If the registration applicant does not visit in person and a proxy applies, there may be necessary documents such as a power of attorney and a copy of an ID card, so please contact the registration agency in advance to check and prepare the necessary documents.
