Temporary licenses expire after 30 days. To convert a temporary license into a full license you must provide new proof of rabies vaccination prior to the temporary license expiration date. With the provision of a rabies expiration date in the future, your pet's license will be extended to the full term originally selected.

You may license in person at the City of Centennial, Public Works Facility located at 7272 S. Eagle St. Centennial, CO 80112.

All pets over the age of 6 months are required to be licensed.

Licenses expire based on the number of years selected after the license start 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. Rabies must be valid during the time of renewal.

Centennial Animal Services provides licensing services for the following areas: the City of Centennial.

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.

License transfers may be granted in certain cases. Please visit the City of Centennial in person to learn more.

You may renew your pet's license within 60 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 have entered your address incorrectly or we may not have your address in the address database for your community. Please double-check all spelling and ensure you are using the abbreviated form for your street type ex. St instead of Street. You may contact the City of Centennial directly if you believe you reside within their jurisdiction but your address is not being accepted by the system.

No, there is no discount for licensing multiple pets. Each pet will be charged the appropriate licensing fee.

Please visit the City of Centennial in person if you are qualifying for this rate for the first time. Once the team there verifies your designation you will be able to renew online in future years.

Residents 65 years of age or older qualify for one free dog license annually for their first pet, with proof of age.

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 Centennial Animal Services, you will be eligible to receive the new discounted rate. Otherwise, you can visit in person at 7272 S. Eagle St. Centennial, CO 80112, and show proof of spay/neuter there.

A processing fee of $2.00 per license product applies to all online orders.

We’re sorry! Unfortunately, unless you update your account to reflect that a pet is no longer in your care, we have no way of knowing. Have you already told us? You may have a duplicate account. Get in touch with your licensing organization or our DocuPet customer service team to update your record.

If you are moving, please be sure to update your address by logging into your online account and navigating to your Profile Settings page. Even though you are moving, you’ll still be able to keep your pet's tag and access your pet's online account. However, your current license may not be valid in the new community you are moving to. Please get in touch with the pet licensing provider in the new community you are moving to in order to find out more information.

We're sorry for your loss. You can update a pet's profile via your online account by editing your pet's profile and selecting 'Remove this Pet'.

You will need to complete the required paperwork and visit the City of Centennial in person to qualify for rabies exemption.

A valid rabies proof is required to purchase a pet license. A 30-day temporary license may be issued if you do not have rabies proof at the time of licensing. Proof of spay/neuter is required to receive the discounted altered rates.

If the rabies vaccination certificate does not match your information because the pet was adopted, we recommend contacting Centennial Animal Services directly so their team can review and approve the documentation. We suggest reaching out to confirm that you have all required documentation, which may include adoption paperwork, in order to license your pet.

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.

Yes! A temporary license can be issued while you gather your documents. Just follow one of the licensing methods listed above to get started. Please note that proof must be submitted before the temporary license expires, otherwise a new license will need to be purchased.

Documentation uploaded via the online system is reviewed within two to three business days.
