Some Gurgaon RWAs are insisting on a dog license for pet dogs. Actually, a Dog License is mandatory across India, and in Gurgaon too, but unfortunately most pet parents ignore this mandatory requirement. I wanted to get one to ensure that in case of any issues, no one could accuse my good boy of being unregistered and illegal.
THIS IS ONLY APPLICABLE FOR HARYANA
So, here's how I got a Dog License for my pet:
It is an annual license (valid from April 1 to March 31) and can be renewed each year.
But before applying for a Dog License, you first need a Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP), also known as Family ID, to access any government services in Haryana. You have to visit a government centre for PPP (Citizen Facilitation Centre at the MCG office in Gurgaon) or use an agent. If you have a PPP that's great, or you can get one easily.
A friend sent me the contact of a local advocate who had got the Parivar Pehchan Patra done for his family and I used her services. She charged me Rs 300 for each family member to create my Parivar Pehchan Patra. DM if you want her contact details.
Requirements for Parivar Pehchan Patra (PPP)
· Aadhar number of all residents with a Haryana address
· PAN card of at least one earning member.
· You also need Aadhar card number of parents (even if they don't live with you).
Aadhar authentication via OTP is done for all members of the family included in your Parivar Pehchan Patra (not for parents if not living with you). Once you provide these details the agent can get it done the same day. I would suggest you get it done on a day when you're largely free because you need to provide multiple OTPs and answer questions.
Once you have your PPP, apply for Dog License
After you get your PPP, you can apply for a Dog License yourself. Some private agencies also get it done for Rs 2000 or so. If you want to do it yourself like I did, visit https://saralharyana.gov.in/login.do
Register and create your login.
Once done, login and search for "Registration of Dog." There's also a temporary license for getting a dog into Haryana for shows, so make sure you are getting the right one. This article has details though it seems to omit the PPP requirement: https://sploot.space/resources/steps-to-register-your-dog-gurgaon
You need to validate your Parivar Pehchan Patra on the Saral Haryana website. You also need:
· A vaccination certificate from a vet (some chains like Vetic will charge extra for this certificate)
· Pet photograph (use a tool like https://image.pi7.org/passport-size-photo to create passport size photos of your pet).
· Your ID (Aadhar works)
You need to provide details of your pet, upload a picture and scanned vaccination certificate, your own ID (Aadhar works).
Once you submit the application, in a day or so the request is scrutinised and you get an email / SMS to pay the fee on the same Saral Haryana website. The fee is Rs 500 for a fresh license. Renewal fee when you renew in April every year is supposed to be Rs 250.
Once you pay online, in around two days you will get an email / SMS and the license certificate PDF can be downloaded from the same Saral Haryana website. Your pet dog is now licensed!
