Apply for or Renew a Brand Record for Domestic Animals

BAHDS requires residents to officially ID domestic animals owned, kept, possessed or transported within Pennsylvania—records of an adoption, unique identification marks, numbers or devices including distinctive branding marks, tattoos, microchips, and more.

Application process

You can apply for a license, which costs $25 for an initial recording fee and $5 for renewal every five years.
