City of Union City - New Animal License Application



What you need to know to get started:

• As a dog owner in Union City, you must license your dog when it is four months or older.

• Your dog will need a CURRENT and VALID rabies vaccination before getting licensed. If your dog is due for a rabies vaccination, please have your dog 
  vaccinated and then upload a copy of the vaccination record.

  You may request a dog license for one, two, or three years based on the rabies vaccination expiration  date.
  NOTE: WE CANNOT ISSUE A LICENSE THAT EXCEEDS THE EXPIRATION DATE SPECIFIED ON THE RABIES VACCINATION RECORD.

  If your dog is unable to be vaccinated due to serious medical conditions, please complete the Alameda County Rabies Exemption Request and then upload
  a copy of the approved exemption certificate.

• If your dog is altered (i.e. spayed or neutered), you should make sure that this is indicated on the rabies vaccination record. If not, you are required to upload
  a copy of the "Certificate of Sterility".
